any idea when OC will get GPU cards in

[Harlequin]

£200 is the average buy price for 3 months of tbr MM , the card you linked was tne highest for that period as any simple search demonstrates. No £300- £400 cards as you assert, in fact 1070 didnt even get to that and 1080 could be bought for less. So thank you for supporting my assertion about prices were never 400 for the 1060

You are not allowed to sell for profit on MM and folk on here are more tech and financially savvy to buy a GPU for £400 and then sell it the next day on the mm because they no longer require it's services.

If I could go back and post my eBay listings from that time I would.

Im sure, but they never were 400

I said £300-£400 as I am confident evga sold their black edition for £325 at one point. They were definitely selling within that range. Maybe not £400 but definitely over £300 which is why I said £300-£400 as I can't remember what the top end cards sold for.

here is a "deal from around that time"

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...eats-dealios-inside-do-not-miss-out.18805014/

Gibbo is selling a blower card in December for £260. "I have a small selection of great deals for you guys over the festive period" prices rose after this in January and this was considered a deal at £260.

"tbh mate I would wait. Next gen should be here soon. spring, early summer. GPU prices are still stupid. No need to waste money if you can help it."


So you are agreeing now there was a price crash in 2018? As they were selling for £300+ new and then a few months later were worth £160 second hand.

And the 1070 were under 380 new, in fact the 1069 were under £260, So no the 1060 wasnt 400 range as you claim. And thank you for agreeing with me that prices didnt crash in 2018. However the biggest take away to be honest is the gtx 1080ti , which would cost £830 in 2021 money and increase of £80 since 2017.

You do understand the definition of a deal don't you? These were deal prices. Meaning a sale of sorts. "I have a small selection of great deals for you guys"

$250 $280 $310 $530 $330 $300

this is from the article you posted for the 1060 6GB.

What would $530 equate to in £

Even using the deal prices. You can see there was a huge crash in second hand prices subsequently. If these cards dropped by over £100 on a £270 "deal" card within 2-3 months.


This time around there is an actual chip shortage though so supply is much more restricted. It will be interesting to see how much that effects the crash when this crash comes now we have established there was a crash in GPU prices in 2018.

 

[Harlequin]

There wont be a crash, prices will simply increase. Gpus wernt dumped in 2018 en masse until just before the rtx 20 series launch ( same happened just before the 30 series launch as well) so price changes would have happened in july/ august.

 

[DeliciousStorage]

No they cannot that's not how scalping works. You cannot create a shortage buy buying up stock and then selling it on.

It's not like de beers and the diamond market where they controlled 90% or more of the total supply.

Plus scalpers have pretty much been targeted for majority of the past year to the point it's nigh on impossible to get more than 1 GPU at a time.

You'll have to come up with something better than "nah they can't" for me to buy it. Not sure why you're pushing such an absurd claim. It's not limited to the organized groups either, I imagine there are a lot of average Joe's that became opportunistic scalpers and used up their 1 GPU limit to make an easy profit.

He was apparently buying up consoles and selling them on himself. That's how he knows. He is also keen to point out how energy wasteful mining is yet he is currently mining on his own GPU's so that is what your up against.

To answer OP and be on topic, thread has been answered already. OcUK have GPU's in stock as do many other retailers. Maybe the question should be rephrased containing the relevant insert:

i cant afford any gpus

rather than when they will get gpu cards in.

Scalpers have to sell cards on to end users. So the card makes it way to a user.

That means there has been zero increase in demand. And there has been no effect on supply.

They are simply a middle man. You cannot blame them for a shortage.

It's like blaming Asda for a toilet paper shortage. They don't manufacture it. Neither do they use it. They simply sell it on.

When a scalper buys a card from a retailer it isn't instantly passed on to another person. There is a period of time in which they need to shift it at inflated prices. Also this does create actual shortages at legitimate retailers where you can buy something with a warranty.

If I wanted to lower my moral standards I could quite easily pick up an Nvidia Founders Edition card in the next drop, and stick it on eBay for an easy profit. That would mean another person who wanted to buy the card for gaming wouldn't be able to get it for a fair price at that retailer. It's completely ridiculous to claim that doesn't in any way contribute to shortages or price rises.

Oh, a scalper claiming that scalping doesn't contribute to shortages or price rises, now it's starting to make more sense.

We had posts where (he scorned users with) mining was wasteful energy and pointless. Then we found out he has multiple GPU's and has been mining ETH for months... go figure. Selective & Hypocrite Sid.

You don't get it.

If there was no shortage. There would be no scalpers.

Scalpers are taking advantage of the shortage not creating it.

Thont doesn't understand that you can be critical of something whilst also profiting from it.

Who would turn down free money and again failing to see the logic in that makes you wonder.

Saying mining is a pointless waste of energy whilst also making money from it aren't mutually exclusive. You gotta wonder how people say if you say X means you cannot do Y.

 

[gpuerrilla]

So your not denying it then which is great, but you never openly declared you done both actions until people caught you out. That's the difference. @FoxEye all is forgiven, this guys limits know no bounds.

I also don't get why you went out of your way for weeks on end quoting posts attacking mining especially alt coins that GPU's mine, yet you yourself bought more GPU's and carried out this act too. That was the odd part, but here we are..

I do understand it. I just challenge the cognitive skills of people who think they are cleverer than others yet make rookie mistakes.

I call these people scumbags. They profiteer at others circumstances and then have a high and mighty opinion on everything. Sometimes even flaunt their success! They are also hypocrites too, going around pretending they are neutral sticking their ores in - then don't declare they are one of the people doing the deeds.

Its like that story in the news the other day - man joins hunt to find missing person when the person missing is him!!

Why do I need to openly declare anything? Did you ever ask me? Or should I openly declare that I also made money yesterday and today from stocks and shares too?

Should I also openly declare every action I do?

I am also a gamer. I have a console I play on another 2 on order 1 of which I will play on. I also have a petrol powered sports car which does 0-60 in 4 seconds. I also can declare that ICE cars are bad for the environment. My wife drives a lexus hybrid and that's what we mainly use but it still doesn't stop me from owning a car if pushed hard does less than 20 mpg.

Do I need to declare that every time I say electric cars are the future and ICE cars are bad for the environment?

 

[gpuerrilla]

Its not about declaring or deflecting the attention.

Its about why do you preach about things then your doing them yourself?

Mining is wasteful, who the heck mines for 50p a day!

**Sonny buys GPU's and slips out he is mining on them for 50p a day**

If you cant see the stupidity of this then nobody can help you. Plenty of posts you made arguing about its senseless and your actively participating. I get why, its called greed. Yeah there we have it, you also spent time arguing about the environment and how people are wrong yadda yadda, yet you go around driving a sports car mining crypto. So your contributing to the things your pointing the finger at!

 

[Psycho Sonny]

There's plenty of folk that are involved in crypto. Understand that it's bad in certain aspects and understand that the future will be very different.

Same as plenty of folk that are involved with low mpg or dirty emission vehicles and understand why they are bad and that the future will be very different.

If you think that in order to say diesel is bad you must not own a diesel that's far from truth or correct. I don't own a diesel not for quite a while now but if I did I could still say they are terrible for the environment.

I made quite a bit selling at the top and trading. I decided to buy some GPUs for mining. I have solar power that is being unused plus it's now heating my home through winter. I live in Scotland where its on average 5 degrees colder than England all year round.

So the GPUs will heat my home and not cost me anything to heat through winter. In summer I make use of my free solar energy.

But you didn't know that either did you? Do I need to declare every single detail to you? I am using energy I created. I feed the grid during summer. I take back in winter. It balances out.

Can you find this post where i said mining was stupid and makes 50p per day?

I am still also awaiting proof of banks are scared of crypto in another thread. As well as several other wild claims you made.

Shall I also file this one under missing?

Maybe get the facts straight before you post made up nonsense
