I think their first thought was how much the mark up will be.
I'm pretty sure you're the only one that measures entitlement by the amount of obnoxious **** you've posted over the years.
Imagine a mobile phone launch where everyone queued up outside the store and some guy comes out and says "Right, no-one in the queue is getting a phone, this time we're basing it on how many text messages you've sent on the last one." Errrm.
At the end of the day if people have placed their orders and handed over money in good faith, but there wasn't enough stock, I think it would be a reasonable thing to do to register them as having some sort of head start next time round.

Gold Club = early access to new Products
I don’t currently see how OcUK tax could be avoided, given the supply situation and surprise they don’t consider concealed bids
I think AMD have basically shot their bolt stock wise until early 2021, I think AMD want to feed stock in over the next few weeks/months to basically fill the need that NVIDIA can’t supply.
Ive just been out in the back yard, the Trombone is totaly done in but strangely the pants have dissapeared, i found some damp bog roll in the outside lav, im feeling a little bit better, ive reduced from very bad tempered to just angry nowI’m interested in the trombone, unfortunately as supply seems limited I’m worried that the price will be jacked up
All perfectly reasonable. IF THE PRODUCT WAS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE AGAIN.
Thanks I’m currently busting out a lovely melody on my worlds smallest violin. Sit down and join in on a little bit of sing song with me.
The Mark ups are a choice and that’s to make hay while the sun shines. Unless they are paying an increased cost for the products then increased prices is just greed.Gold Club = early access to new Products

@Gibbo
Would love to try my luck in snagging one of them spare RX 6800 XT tomorrow but until the refund has been processed I don't have enough money to attempt it
hopefully the money will be back in the account to have a go at the pre orders next wednesday and I get lucky this time. sad times, still rocking my GTX 970 though.

They're non - XT cards apparently.
Don’t worry about it fella it’s not your money to begin with and the credit card company will be reimbursed in good time. Just digits being moved around,
Really glad I decided to go for the 3070 now. This launch was even worse than the very bad NVIDIA 3xxx series.
Careful - there are many pre-nuke members still around. So join the back of the queuePriority ordering for those with long term forum membership
The real shame is the lack of stock everywhere, I wonder if they will be in stock after Christmas? I suspect we won't see cards in stock from AMD or Nvidia until we are well into 2021
It's been mentioned a few places but the fact that Nvidia, as the biggest GPU company has screwed their launch, means there's a knock on effect on AMD.
Now all the thirsty buyers that Nvidia failed to supply are now bunched up with AMD buyers and they're all after upgrades.
So even if AMD did make enough for the usual AMD customers it's impossible to have enough to also supply Nvidia customers too.
Probably have to wait til next year to see what AMDs AIB numbers look like since they clearly only had token levels of reference cards.

Only Non XT cards.

There aren’t any XTs only 6800s

This is what I am afraid of if I try to get a 6800 tomorrow and fail, Then I will be risking not being able to try and get an AIB card next week.
It basically is though... literally no-one that missed out on a 6800XT is going to care if they get a different 6800XT with a different badge on it.
They’ll get away with it because supply is limited and ultimately people will moan but more importantly still buy. It’s not nice to see though.Well they are a business so I guess greed is good, as long as you don’t **** off the golden goose too much
