Im really torn whether to cancel my 3900X and just get a 3600 until September.

Percentage wise, resale values will be around the same, so it wouldn’t make much difference economically.

Hmm I bought a 3900X and now I'm kinda wishing I waited

I just got an email from AMD to buy the 3900x direct from their shop & its £76 cheaper than OC! £400 plus shipping..

That seems to good to be true or am I missing something?

Missing VAT?

Bingo

It’s a little confusing as it says total including VAT but as soon as you put in Great Britain, it’s shoots up £80

..
Just for a sec I thought they pulled a fast one and tried to cut out the distributors..TBH I’d rather buy from OC..

That popped up on HUKD and I was rushing to buy on launch day, sadly not meant to be.

Day to day, you don’t notice vat, but boy does it hurt once you start going into the hundreds and thousands (and I don’t mean the ice cream topping).

I can't get my head round how Some mobos are more in £'s than $'s.
It was bad enough when they were the same but this is just ridiculous now.

Example.

X570 Taichi (already "discounted" by OCUK...)

GLOBAL - $299MSRP. Add "typical" State sales tax of around 6%. A final price to the consumer of $317 (many will pay less). $317 = £248
UK - $299MSRP. Convert to £'s = £234. Add VAT = £280 - already rip off UK with 20% tax. Alas...

Where is this extra £59 going to get to £339?? Just straight up gouging!

Thing is though it isn't across the board, quite a few of them directly translate.

UK consumers almost always pay a lot more than the actual conversion rate, with many companies pulling the old one dollar equals one pound nonsense and then trying to blame VAT. It's been this way for years, VAT has only made a bad situation worse! :mad:

And there was me thinking of the topping.

. Yep VAT is no joke once you start talking big money.

I see the 3900x is the only item not in stock with OcUK. Does anyone have any detail on what's happened as I understood more stock was due this week?

mikeym · 16 Jul 2019 at 20:53

Saw someone mention that Gibbo had stated more stock was due tomorrow. Eta's have been very unreliable though...

Unfortunately I’m now out the country for over a week on holidays so have no access the last tracking was 3800X should have being earlier this week and 3900X today so it’s safe to assume all the deliveries are late pretty much globally for everyone it seems.

All I know was:

44x 3600X due Monday
500x 3700X due Monday
180x 3800X overdue expect next week
70x 3900X overdue expect next week
350x 3900X due July 17th

I’m afraid as I’m on holiday any other updates will have to come directly from OcUK HQ via customer service section or giving them a call but as all shipments are in transit and the OcUK warehouse know how important these delivery’s are the moment they arrive they shall be booked in and orders shipped.

No probs - fingers crossed for tomorrow! I'm also waiting for other items that are also out of stock - hopefully they'll put my cpu to one side or send separately...

beany_bot · 16 Jul 2019 at 22:15

I mean, he is perfectly entitled to...

But I can't get my head round a head of sales, who decides to go on holiday, at the time of the biggest launch of the year lol.

I don't think it would have made much difference either way to be honest, let the man enjoy his holiday.
