We have the stock but we pay for it in 30 days, we provisionally booked it st 1.44 but we shall now have to adjust down to 1.25-1.30 area due to EU leave.

We are waiting until 15:00 before we decide new rates as it will either drop more, stabilise or recover a little. It is really crap!!!! :(

So I'm to believe these prices you apparently bought the cards at? Why didn't you mention this yesterday when people were asking about the exit and you maintained that you already had 1000 in stock and not to worry? Or are companies like yourself trying to profiteer off of Britain leaving the EU? We were warned about this:)

I'm in another country so cannot reply to everything!

Stock is here but not paid for so if rate crashes we need to adjust the provisional rate we expect when goods are paid for, the stock is provisionally booked at 1.41, the rate is now around 1.35 !!!

This is economics and if you don't like it buy elsewhere but if rate stays this low or drops more than all the resellers shall increase pricing not just Ocuk !!!!
 
It's disgusting you guys are jumping at gibbo - businesses are buying stuff on credit lines in dollars or euros from suppliers abroad. Hence, if the pound tumbles they have to pay more.

If you were that desperate to pay less then you should have not voted to leave.

It's perfectly understandable that you have to adjust prices in accordance with the currency, but the question is will you do the same when the currency bounces back? :o Was already checking prices for the gtx 980 ti in order to get a good deal. :D Asos already shut down their stores in the UK for the time being.
 
I just asked about stock they had and prices of said stock, i dont think i did anything to jump at him. Im thankful for his replies which were informational. Shame if prices do go up but cant blame him.

Yes I put prices down on FE cards yesterday due to very strong pound!

Good news is Maxwell cards pricing will hold as stock is all paid for, so it's un-affected. :)

This is why I am holding off doing a knee jerk reaction on prices. I've informed my team at HQ to hold off making any major changes unless rate slips under 1.35, were gonna see how it plays out.

Only CPU may adjust a small amount, few quid as we sell a lot of them very close to cost as CPUs.

Goodness me, there's more important factors and things associated with brexit than just prices of crappy graphics cards.

If you say that in GD your totally right, but i think in topics like this where people are looking forward to cheap new gfx cards its important to them.

Personally not fussed if prices go up or down, cant afford one even if i wanted to. :p

Whatever you have to do you have to do, its business, but saying that if you are trying to hold off then all the power to you for doing so, other companies might not.

I suspect we'd get told off for talking about market crashes, oil prices or job losses so in a thread about an upcoming card where a lot of speculation is price-based I'd expect that's the limit.
