speaking with DPD, DHL and Royal Mail all saying they seeing record levels of parcels being ordered from online companies and that Black Friday and Christmas ordering boom has come easy and seems to grow each day.

Who buys Black Friday goods a month before the discounts on Black Friday (27th November - granted, prob a day or two earlier than that).

Queue update on EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Gaming.

Last week: 27th
Today: 25th

More cancellations I imagine, but hoping Gibbo's update about a small amount of most cards includes EVGA and this moves faster soon

So, I managed to snag myself two 3070’s yesterday. I’m not looking to profit from the resale of one so before I send it back to the retailer I wanted to run something past the forum to see if (a) it’s allowed and (b) it’s something that may be of interest.

Bit of backstory. Last year I trained to take part in a charity boxing match but in the week before I was due to fight I got concusses in a sparring match and couldn’t take part. This year I was due to do the event again but COVID got in the way. The charity is one I strongly support - they raise money for the Premature Birth unit at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester. This year has been tougher than ever for them as they rely heavily on the charity work for new equipment, etc.

My question is this. If I were to set up a raffle, say at £2 a tickets, with the profits going to the charity, would people support this? And also @Gibbo would this actually be allowed, since it effectively reduces your customer number by one.

I’d look to make £1000 for the charity, so 750 tickets or thereabouts. £2 for a 1/750 chance to get a card sounds good right?

Anyway, let me know what you think. For more information on the charity and why we choose to support it here’s a link - https://youtu.be/82eGXJiFREA

Word of warning, you may find your eyes leaking at this vid. I’m sure you’re making lasagne or something.

I'm now 188 in the queue for a non-OC TUF, finally past the 200 mark after more than a month. Ugh.

On a random note, I've heard that the new free game promo with the 30xx series cards is CoD: Cold War...
