im not even in the MM but I have to agree here.
Gibbo already said the deals will go back in MM, as the first two deals went ok beyond a couple of members getting caught trying to sell them on.
one banned
if the other one is from us they did a good job of covering their tracks
I think it went pretty well TBH. 200 cards made available, and as yet only a small number are known to have been advertised for resale. That in spite of this being in a publicly viewable section of the forums, and in spite of the offer showing up on Discord. And of the cards advertised for resale so far, most seem to be individuals trying it on, rather than people making a living off reselling hard-to-get goods.
I'd call this offer a success. Not quite as effective as the MM offers, but still a lot more effective than releasing the cards for general sale. Plus, with 200 units, they were available to buy for ages.
seriously people are selling them ?????? what a bunch of dicks
I have some unexpected costs this week but will sell my powecolor rx5700 offering it to friends first at a fair price and that should sort my shortfall
and the rx6700 should let me play 1444 which will be nice

Your not that far off.
I'd say keep spamming the forum but they did warn against that, to be fair 700 odd posts registered since 2017 your not exactly a chancer, and yes it would penalise someone like you, which is a shame.
But putting it in a public forum, you can just register a new account and get one, word will go round and soon it won't be anyone in this community getting them, people will set up scripts to download the voucher codes, create 100 forum accounts etc.
Anyway, if you reply back to me saying you agree again thsts +1 post which I don't think anyone could consider spam, it all adds up lol.
Oh I agree it helped some get the cards to a load who have been after them and at a very fair price but it looks as though they did enough damage to ruin it for future deals here

think I went on 20-30 minutes after the listing walked to the shop and back and still 10+ left
Not any more, this was the maritime equivalent of the great train robbery. I heard that a team of frogmen jammed the rudder so the ship got stuck before scaling on to the deck to liberate those 4 cards. It's what you've got to do these days to get a GPU.Yep, 4 x 3080 for UK
Strewth.
How many MM members are there, 1000 posts seems like quite a high bar. I thought they had already had a crack at the Nvidia cards, how many do they need?
I think they mentioned they will be looking at creating an alternate section with a lower entry threshold for posts as a possibility.
I know, it's like some people are only just realising they need a new GPU.

The forum has been around for a while, 1000 is not much when you look at how many years the forum existed, But would be interested in knowing how many MM there were and how many actually want a graphics card.
But I suppose you got to think, not everyone wants the same thing

Lots and lots, you could have easily had access yourself back when you joined there was something like a 250 post count requirement, and before that it was only 100 I believe. At 0.02 posts per day you've got a while to go.

AFAIK they have only had lower end GPUs so far on these deals, if someone is holding out for a 3070, 6800XT etc then they havent had a chance at that yet.The forum has been around for a while, 1000 is not much when you look at how many years the forum existed, But would be interested in knowing how many MM there were and how many actually want a graphics card.

From the way people have spoken about them it sounds like even the MM deals sold out before demand was met, though I could be wrong.
I doubt they had 100 odd stock left over with everyone elses needs met even on the MM deals.

Yeah i wouldnt be surprised at the current demand.
