I know you can't sell before the launch date but cant you do a register interest with a deposit system? I know some stores did that for PS5's and then you'd just pay the balance on launch day. That was a stress free experience.

AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date

I just checked my spam folder and found email from AMD directly with unique links to buy 6800XT or 6700 card on their website, sent 13:40 (20 minutes before lunch)! 
Damn, why did it end up in spam! :/ £587 price to that.
That said, still nothing from OcUK about PC 6800XT shipping.

Well 2020 hasn't been so bad, managed to get a 3080FE, 3070FE and now a 6800XT. Think I used up all my luck
Without be salty your order should be canceled haha
We have some more of these spare, those who want one, I shall post on the forum tomorrow in the morning to give you a heads up before I enable the order button, so hopefully forum members can grab one if they so wish.
Yeah I think that's the thing... we're all yelling at the stores for their websites falling over, but the real problem is that AMD have effectively lied about the launch. After making a bit show of the launch, only a few UK stores were selling the card and they only had a few hundred cards each. I was watching pretty much every retailer I know of, and most of them never listed them, those that did I never even saw a "buy" button.
I would estimate less than 1000 cards in the whole country and over 10,000 people trying to order in the first 30 mins.
A lottery system would be nice, so it's not a mad scramble. Just up to random chance
Tell your boss he should be Social distancing!!!! ><I was trying to get a card while working spent 15 minutes trying to find a link to the products then my boss walked in so had to stop and any chance gone
It that before or after OcUK add their tax?

I'm expecting from £749 to £899 very similiar to 3080 prices. AIB's and retailers aren't going to turn down an easy profit are they?
I think there going to end up being crazy expensive, I remember when I bought my Vega 64 AIO I had to wait quite a few months before it reached the £600 I was willing to pay in Nov 2017.
Think they’ll end up being £800+
I've just received an email saying that overclockers could not avoid overselling. And as a result my Saphire 6800XT order (paid for) is to be cancelled and refunded.. No doubt the bots will be allowed to keep their orders/cards. I struggled like crazy to actually obtain one (which I planned to use in a new AMD setup).. I don't particularly want a refund. I would rather overclockers put me on the list for the next stock (25th November).. Why can this not be done?
Very disappointed and a complete waste of my time and efforts.
One of those that clearly was allowed to keep their order is now selling on ebay with order confirmation/shipping confirmation from overclockers. Cancel their order and let me keep mine.. Surely that would be the right thing to do.

I would assume non- since a bunch of XT orders are being cancelled
They switched off the 'add to basket' button after 2 minutes, so maybe it wasn't enough time for the whole lot to sell through, everybody was dogpiling on the XT
Could be worse. Your card could have died and forced you back to a GTX 970 backup card.
Hi there
Shipment update:
Powercolor 6800 XT, all stock has now shipped, we are not expecting to get more, but if we do it shall be a very small amount but looking unlikelty.
Sapphire 6800 XT, all stock has now shipped, we are not expecting any more.
Powercolor 6800, all orders have shipped, we have some spare, these will be available to order tomorrow, I shall post a hint tomorrow morning on the forum as to what time to give forum members a better chance of getting one.
Sapphire 6800, all orders have shipped, we have a large amount spare, these will be available to order tomorrow, I shall post a hint tomorrow morning on the forum as to what time to give forum members a better chance of getting one.
This launch like previous ones has being hugely fustrating, all caused by massive lack of supply. The additional model varieties will go live on our website next Wednesday after 2pm and throughout the day to try and stop the mad rush, but all shall be pre-order with no physical stock which is not expected until end of November / December and again it is small volumes of stock.
