PowerColor X1800 XT - £235 until Feb 6 only! Don't miss out!!

[Gibbo]

Hi there

As per the thread title, if your considering an X1800 XT on offer at OcUK you only have until tomorrow to make your mind up.

As at the end of tomorrow the cards will either be sold out or will increast in price to approx £300 +VAT.

The clock is ticking............

When are the X1900's Coming down in price ?

These cards are a bargain though, my powercolour one is ace, running every game i play maxed out, but i dont play F.E.A.R Fortunately

The X1900's won't be coming down, in fact ATI are not too happy about how cheap they are as Etailors were supposed to be selling them much higher....

 

[Gibbo]

its a marketing tactic gibbo has used.

its like me selling something to you then also saying that someone else is interested in the item im selling. that will put pressure on you and i could have no other people interested in the item im selling.

sly tactics.

There is nothing sly about it at all.......

X1800's are been cleared out and not produced any longer, this means they won't be around much longer. They are going cheap and way below how much they cost the ATI partners to originally purchase and as such are been sold to Etailors at a loss and then the Etailors add a small margin and quickly clear them out for the ATI partners in essence giving customers a good buy but its only a short term thing.

The X1900's are currently been sold well under ATI's guidance pricing by nearly all Etailors, everone is still making good margin but ATI marketed the X1900 to compete with the 7800 GTX 512MB but because everyone is selling X1900's so cheap ATI are annoyed by the fact that what is a superior card has been de-valued and therefor normal customer who don't have much of a clue will look at GTX 512MB at £450 - £500 +VAT and automatically think its better than X1900 which is £300 +VAT where in reality the X1900 is superior and a far better buy.

So this makes ATI look the underdog or its how ATI marketing people see such things as the X1900's were supposed to have been sold for a lot more. Whether ATI will increase cost pricing to its partners/etailors to force their pricing up is unknown but a price drop is very unlikely.

OcUK is selling X1900 XT's for £309 +VAT and X1900 XT-X's for £339 +VAT which for a card that beats the £500 +VAT 7800 GTX is an exceptional price for a lot of card.

X1800's are a great buy and my advice is buy them, whether it be from OcUK or elsewhere because I doubt they will be around for much longer and the offer at OcUK stops end of tomorrow.

All seems a little bit odd. These offers dont seem that great. There are other etailers doing offers just as good if not better. Seems like a push from OCUK to try and clear some stock.

We have no needs to clear stock.

Irrelevant of stock the price goes back up tomorrow as what we have left over shall be used in system builds.

OcUK is a bit more of a community, clearly one your not used too and OcUK always pushes to give that little bit extra for the customer, in all fairness OcUK was the first to offer X1800's so cheap.

All I am doing is saying if your thinking of getting an X1800 grab one whilst you still can, yes I'd like you to buy it from OcUK but at the end of the day these are a great deal so don't hang around waiting because other Etailors will no doubt remove them from offer very soon too or run out.......

 

[Gibbo]

No plus vat, so still little bit more expensive than OC. Name the shop in rhyme, that'll get around the filters and I should understand who. :0)

Your very close to been banned from these forums.

OcUK does not use filters it has moderators who monitor post and any attempt to supply info regarding competitors in any kind of way will result in you getting a bann.

Hi there

Lets make it real simple shall we!!

The OcUK rules are not open to debate!
If you don't like the rules then don't post here!

Clearly from 15,000 active members here our rules don't seem to bother most and we have one of the best communities on the web here. Either be part of it and obide the rules in place or leave.

Unless of course that customer deals with other IT network companies who require lots of hardware. Not including friends, family, work collegues. How many people say "avoid the high street stores" One lost £100,000 yearly contract due to my dealings with them (three lettered word)...nothing to them but it will eventually mount up. And now other network administrators are changing over after hearing enough from various sources.

One customer with a bad experience can mean a company loses tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds in business, as they will stay in a black list of dozens if not hundreds of people. And it's not good business to have lots of disgrunted customers on each and every forum/newsgroup.

The rules at OcUK apply to all including customers, nobody gets special privileges here and OcUK's business grows stronger every year so on the whole we must be doing a good job.

Will these cards still be on sale price untill 12pm 2nite (6th)? If so ill take one

Nope they are nearly all gone and expected to sell out within a few hours, people are buying them up.

 

[Gibbo]

and any chance of a deal on the master crossfires gibbo? how many of these do you have in stock?

No deals on those at the moment, not many places in the UK stock them and I believe were already the cheapest.
