Wanna hear my Sunday morning tin foil hat theory?
[tinfoil] I think they have sold a LOT of cards at the original price, my Eagle was sold at £649 for example. I think that they had only secured a small number at that price, but were unable to change it on the website fast enough because of the issues. So....I think that is not too much of a stretch to imagine that they are going to lose a lot of money on those first round of cards that they have to sell at retail, although they are going to have to pay a higher price for. So either their margin will be obliterated - or in the worst case, lose money.
And this is where the tin hat bit comes in.....what would happen if you delayed those cards so much that people lost patience and cancelled them? New orders would then be at the adjusted price.... Hmmmmm
I am sure that this is all fiction in my head - but with the purposeful shroud of mist over any meaningful information....people are going to speculate as to why OCUK seem to be so inept. [/tinfoil]
