Sign of the times to come, the days of cheap gpu's are well and truly over. I do wonder how recession will affect this in the long run though. Hopefully we'll see more sensible prices in the future not this nonsense that everyone seems to be lavishing up, quite sad in all honesty.We have nearly 1000 cards and they are selling crazy fast.

Or OCUK have got better at handling things?
order placed 11/11/22 so a few days earlier than yours , i also sent them a ticket because as soon as i ordered which said pre order at the time the main page then switched to in stock with delivery for the 18th , previously said released 18th delivery 25th so like yourself sent them a ticket asking whats going on .. am still awaiting a reply but the block is sitting at my local depot for delivery tomorrowWhen did you place the order? I ordered on 14th Nov when there was only 1 item left in stock and it's still showing "processing" in the orders.
Estimated delivery 22nd Nov which I very much doubt will be achieved. EK haven't answered my support ticket either, so that's helpful
I imagine yours will be along shortly as can't see the demand for the abp being as high as the stock one Its not a sign of times to come, they will always find enough buffoons to buy these on launch day but how about 3-4 months from now.
This. Were getting to grips with our new servers and new back-end software and it is working quite well on this launch.

And let themselves do so by continuing to lap up the nVidia BS

What Haribo?
I never got none for my 6900 XT, then again I had Parma Violets on hand, all good!

I think many are just scalpers, some never learn.
Have to see but im not hopeful tbh. People lack self control and its that plus the desire to show off and parade that you "copped one" that drives this BS pricing up.
These people will be kicking themselves in a few months when the 4090 is £1200

I have noticed an interesting tactic used by scalpers where they pull an item that was for sale so that it shows "out of stock" or whatever you-missed-out message a given site shows....only for the same card to go back on sale, from the same seller, shortly thereafter.
They also raise and lower prices to create the illusion of activity.
It's like dragging a lure through the water to convince fish to bite.
When I first heard about Nvidia's efforts to manipulate stock levels, I thought it was silly to put in effort so that they could sell less product, but it makes sense in the context of consumer psychology.
I think milking the FOMO market first has been standard procedure. It just looks like they are trying to up their psychology game this time.

No worries on stock… plenty of AIB’s available at those sky high prices. But we are only 30 mins into the launch day.

Yes it does.
Pretty sure retailers are doing the same thing.

Thanks. I'm only concerned that the orders page still shows that it's in processing but hopefully it dispatches before that updates (unlikely, but one can hope!). I basically asked in my ticket that if the block is out of stock then I'd be happy to have one of the non-ABP blocks but they've not answeredorder placed 11/11/22 so a few days earlier than yours , i also sent them a ticket because as soon as i ordered which said pre order at the time the main page then switched to in stock with delivery for the 18th , previously said released 18th delivery 25th so like yourself sent them a ticket asking whats going on .. am still awaiting a reply but the block is sitting at my local depot for delivery tomorrow
I've been lucky and never had a card with coil while, but that's RMA territory tbh.
starting to sell out on OCUK , crazy that the nigh on £1600 MSI has all gone
In fairness we only had like 8 units of those, they did over-sell though as I forgot to tick a box on the product to pull it when sold out, sold around 15 in total, but another 8 are due in a today or two.
