And you would lose credibility faster than you opened up, Dabs Direct.

how to lose customers, in one quick swipe.
Go in dry and hope they dont notice the massive price hike.
Maybe raise the delivery charge too while you at it to 29.99£

No offence to OCUK but I've not bought a GPU off them since the AMD 290x launch.

Strange, when this current government make use of similar tactics you're all over them.
Yes, same here. This is Business...If I ran a business and had a forum where 100's of customers were champing at the bit to buy one, I'd do the same thing
I know I may give gibbo a hard time about price gauging, but I know and understand why he does it. End of the day no one forces anyone to buy, if demand dropped prices would soon come down.
I don’t remember the last gpu I got from here. Radeon 5770 does come to mind
Did buy some 8pack b-die ram earlier this year however

What the hell is going on with the price gauging? I was set on buying the Asus 3080 TUF @ £649 now it's jumped up to £698?
I’m not sure why people are surprised by this. All the prices were placeholders. The ASUS ROG card got put up in price way before these. It was obvious none of these were going to be the real prices.

The last time I purchased a pre order GPU was the amp extreme 1080ti, that price did not change, was the same hype as always.
Apple pie and some sand
And once you factor in Nvidia said their cooler cost £115 then its £315 AIB's are charging you for their crappy cooler with three fans.

What does one thing have to do with another?
A government is supposed to protect and serve the needs of the people.
A business is supposed to provide a service whilst generating profits for the owners.

Wow really
that's the bottom of the line crap, get an FE if you can will probably clock higher than AIBs at £800.I buy on price alone, couldn't care less which retailer. Pay on your credit card then you're covered as they are jointly liable with the retailer. So great aftersales service is irrelevant to me, and not something i'd pay extra for.
If that was the case why couldn't they have just put TBC as the price. That way it would have prevented all this annoyance.
Gibbo is not done yet, will go up again before you do
