FYI @ScottiB I know it isn't this particular card but I've just noticed this on the FB marketplace if you're interested

Currently 361 in your 3080 queue

Good grief, you'd have to be pretty desperate to buy a queue position off someone with the prospect of waiting months for your card to (possibly) appear.

isn't this free delivery I have seen people talk about done via linking shop and forum accounts? (or is it only one way or something with your backend?)

(also bugger I never knew that existed until now I could have saved so much!)

its on your profile section on your OCUK account

What about next time, you set the price to something like they go for on ebay, say £830, but purchasing gives you a £300 credit note that you can later use for buying other components, would that not put off the scalpers a bit?

 

[ScottiB]

@Gibbo are you still checking for the past deals as well? Quite a few band new sealed Zotac 3060 cards showing on facebook at the moment.

Yes, today alone I've banned at least a dozen people from future orders based on being able to track back Facebook and Ebay listings for last week's deals.

The MM deals aren't safe from scalpers unfortunately.

 

[SirMX5Alot]

Ideally they would have some way of creating a sub-section that only allows members who joined prior to 2021. That would be the only way to accomodate old members who don't post on here.

Can we make it prior to 2008 to give me a fighting chance

Tried to link mine today, no joy! Still worth signing up for the entertainment value of seeing scalpers getting their orders cancelled

Have you been able to strip their MM access too?

 

[Feek]

Is there some way to only allow loyal customers that have bought a certain amount of items, or spent a certain amount of money over the years to buy these gpus? And just block new customers and people that have only bought gpus or only a couple of items from you before?

No, that really isn't practical to do.

Well I somehow managed to snag one at 10000 quid

 

[kevbiss1]

Luckily I don't have a credit card with that high a limit and it got declined

You were mentioned in dispatches.

would have got cancelled regardless of credit it seems.

not something I can do, have to hand over to mods for that

 

[Cyber-Mav]

How much you gonna scalp it for? 15000?

 

[varkanoid]

Well I somehow managed to snag one at 10000 quid

ah so you are the "Kev" mentioned earlier.

 

[ScottiB]

Some guy called Kev managed to put through an order for a £10K card and the card issuer paid it!

The reason that I say this here is because they have a multi year order history so they could be a forum member.

I've refunded the payment but they might be a little light for a day or two, I really hope it doesn't result in bank charges for them.

If we have 100% absolute evidence of a link to a forum account then yes, they have lost MM access.

 

[fs123]

There is. They could provide access just like the MM section which only allows members with a post count of 1000 or 100 if you are an older member. They should be able to create a section which is accessible by anyone who joined before 2021 or 2020.

I believe in the earlier posts Gibbo mentioned they were looking at other things, This maybe one of them.

He was talking about cards from the MM only offer, so I'd have thought they'd have used their free shipping from forum account + name there? Obviously you can't act if you aren't sure.
