Eta of next batch? Guessing I'm not in the 10!

The next 10 will be for orders placed between 25-26th of March I believe, they are working hard to get a lot more stock our way but this week shall remain very tight.

I think towards middle of this month EVGA stock may free up, but stock situation shall be tightish for the whole of April.

That 30+ was mainly Gainward sales.

EVGA is popular due to a superb warranty and it's also one of the cheapest ones and so far we've only had direct shipments which is best price and keeps web price low. If/when we get stock from a distributor price will/might go up.

HornyRhino · 3 Apr 2012 at 00:22

im still puzzled as to why theres a shortage?

i know its new and will always be sold out at launch but since the card that is the 6 series were supposed to be launched in nov/dec last year but were put back till to feb/march 2012 shouldnt they have had loads stockpiled for launch?

maybe they are having manufacturing die problems and its that which is slowing down the number being made...or Amd simply are not selling much

Demand is higher than supply.

Good news is we've just had more MSI arrive, unfortunately from distributor so higher pricing remains, but still we now have plenty of MSI stock, still loads of Gainward and KFA2 and Zotac in today. In total we now have nearly 300 cards in stock.

Sure is!

Feel free to come down and pay cash or card if you like.

Skynet5 · 3 Apr 2012 at 09:25

Its going to be a great bank holiday! Last blow out before my first child arrives next week! Then OcUK are not getting anymore of my money...so my wife tells me!

Blackwhite · 3 Apr 2012 at 09:39

So if I will order EVGA on Pre Order now will I get it in the same price 429.99?

Yes I think so as the money will be taken now.

fiveub · 3 Apr 2012 at 09:46

That's right, the money is taken so if it goes up a bit you wont be charged any extra.

No point in cutting the price of something that's selling so well :confused:

IMO if EVGA are ~ £430 then "OcUK Value" need to be discounted below that price. Why would anyone buy something you don't even know the brand of instead of a premium brand for the same price? :confused:

As soon as Gibbo get some good stock for OcUK Value a deal just under £400 would fly off the shelves. IIRC launch price was ~ £420 for OcUK Value.

MANY MANY people on this forum have stated <£400 is the "line in the sand" before buying. Me included.

Good for you, you can wait :rolleyes:

Doesn't matter what you think the prices should be... they are what they are and they're selling... there's no need for OCUK to do a deal on them... doesn't make any sense... just because you and a few others don't want to pay the extra doesn't mean they should magically lower their prices... do you really live in a world of your own where that makes sense? :confused:

Would you prefer i ask for a price increase? :rolleyes:

As stated when "Gibbo gets some good stock", or in other words when "all his stock does not immediately sell out" a deal would be a good idea to shift OcUK Value. Is that clearer for you? :rolleyes:

Obviously when everything immediately sells out he is not going to drop prices! :rolleyes:

As stated when stock stabilises there needs to be a discount below premium brand prices for the value brand. Otherwise it is poor value. OBVIOUSLY. :rolleyes:

I am not allowed to discuss prices form other retailers on here. However I can discuss where i want to see OcUK prices.... and when i will buy.

I'm in no hurry to move from my current card. Which you are correct is good for me!

Skynet5 · 3 Apr 2012 at 11:26

do we know the OCuk brand that has just come in stock?
