Still can't see any reason in this thread or in the leaked data so far to suggest that for a very casual 1440p gamer like me, a £210 GTX970 wouldn't do a mighty fine job, even with the 480 around.
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
Told ya, it's all a big conspiracy! Brexit is an excuse to price-gouge lol. At least those folks who might be anti-Brexit.
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!!!!
See, Gibbo isn't such a bad guy since he said they might go back to the original price depending on what the £ does. That said try to have a more positive outlook on things Gibbo. Even if politics didn't work they way one wanted, life goes on and OCUK is still a business. I'm sure Gibbo will do the right thing and keep OCUK competitive as he's mentioned a billion times before.
I already made a post on that a fair few page back. My theory is that Haribo will increase for new launch.

If you're gonna buy then buy now tbh, things are gonna be a bit topsy-turvy for a little while
You've already got the cards in stock so wouldn't the price on Wednesday be based on what you paid for them last week or whenever you imported them?

Doesn't work like that. OcUK is a kind of 'storage facility' for the cards and the pricing is set/agreed just before launch. Makes it easier than just having everything in a central location, all the major etailers do this.
In stock but not paid for we buy nearly everything on 30-90 day credit terms.
i think i know what may happen here
My informants have confirmed to me the stock bought by ocuk and another uk retailer have already been paid for. So will be interesting to see which of the 2 retailers want to gouge more.
Pound will probably recover by release date somewhat

A few days of waiting wouldn't hurt as the 480 should be faster for the same or less
No it's not paid for your informants are wrong, I buy the stock, it landed early this week and last, we will be paying end of July.
But fingers crossed rate gets back over 1.40 and then there is not really an issue.

The real question is, will you be replacing Haribo with Kendal Mint Cake now that we're apparently nationalists?

basically you do normal business
pretty much now most businesses handle stock......even restaurantsExchange rate yesterday = 1.00GBP = 1.46113USD
Exchange rate now = 1GBP = 1.38007USD
($229 / 1.46113)*1.2 = £188
($229 / 1.38007)*1.2 = £199
5.85% price increase.
This isn't going to be an Earth shattering price adjustment unless the pound value drops like a stone.

You should keep "an amount" in an offshore fourex or similar currency trading account to take advantage of situations like this and make a profit on the brexit. You can pay for your orders in whatever currency you choose and between times trade currencies and make extra margin, while keeping the profits in a tax haven.
