This^^Meh, can't afford to take the risk I buy a second hand lemon, plus I don't have access to MM, and dispise usage of the bay these days for tech. So OcUK retail for me: I'd rather have a warranty that can be utilised than find out 6 months down the line the second hand card is dead and no warranty will revive it.
Seems 980ti’s are still as strong as ever second hand. A Zotec Amp extreme went for £390 a couple of days ago.
However there are quite a few cards now landing on MM from miners..

£390!!! I just paid £260 on MM for mine (non-extreme) .
RX 580 8Gb at £299.99 on OcUK Today Only until 9am Monday, £100-£200 cheaper than competitors.
Sorry to ask a dumb question butt what is MM?
I love how they post stuff like this, as if we should be grateful for being able to purchase 4yr old levels of performance for 'only' £300 instead of £500...
Maybe as a company, they should reflect on their part in helping to kill off PC gaming as a viable option for so many, and the long term implications for their business.

it doesn't actually stand for anything technically. hodl has it's origins as a typo but has since become a backronym for 'hold on for dear life'Actually stands for Hold Or Die Laughing.
Were doing our part to try and help, the deal at £299, we made 5% profit per card, because yes prices have gone up no matter how much you want to believe or not, cost have increased considerably. The rest of the UK on said cards were around £450, so OcUK doing these at £299 is trying to help the gaming community.
Were not going to sell them at £200 and make a loss are we!
The fact is it is very clear this was recognised as a strong deal as over the weekend we sold just over 700 units, remember they were set to 1PC per customer, though those wanting more could go through the effort of re-ordering. Having such a large volume, at a market beating price resulted in one of our most successful weekend deals ever, because the savvy people out there knew that in today's climate £299 for a brand new 580 8Gb is a proper bargain, hence the sales.
I've heard that misconception a few times, it actually started out as a slang abbreviation for the phrase Hold Or Die Laughing which was commonly used on MtGox and BTC-e back in the day. It's actually kinda funny now because it took a while before people started abbreviating it, just like with "lol", and in both cases it seems weird to see the full thing now but we used it all the time back then.it doesn't actually stand for anything technically. hodl has it's origins as a typo
