Plus its about a million times slower.
The price is not $999 if they buy 500 for example

No??? really?? imagine that, getting a discount for bulk buying, whod'a thought it???
£879.99 for the cheapest, rising to £949.99 for ones with better warrantys
Did you miss the part Gibbo says £799-£999 ?

Well you need to factor that into your equation, what you did was base your calcs on a single purchase.

Sorry, reading a previous message I must have misunderstood and thought you were implying that those who commit to buy up front had someone to complain about if pricing too high or specs not as expected.
yes, hopefully around £799.
I don't even game often but tempted to pick two up as always seem to get caught out as cards being NLA when I want a second. Two of these would last me a long time. Havig said that I probably wont bring myself to click the buy button on two. As these are new releases hopefully will be around for some time so can pick up another new one later.
That was a price range that they could come in at not the cheapest and most expensive. Or did I misread it.
no, you didnt misread it
As there's no way this comes with Witcher 3 and got a feeling its going to be above £799 which is rip off IMO, Its a no go for me 
Going by the 980 sli performance I feel this beast should retail for £699 - £750. Much better price for the actual performance compared to the other cards.
But alas it'll be more like £829.99 - £849.99 I reckon.

Correct
Gibbo has already stated they don't pay for the cards till 3-6 weeks after they get them. If buying in bulk makes each cards value drop below $999 if anything they should be even cheaper

Also you wont get huge discounts per unit either buying in bulk on a premium product like this, at most i'd say Nvidia would probably shave off $50 per unit and thats being generous. Id bet it would be much much lower than that at bulk as well, most companys offer various bulk discount points but at the end of the day they are all in it to make money.
What confuses me is then why start at £799 ? Why not just have a price range of £500-£1000 ? or £0-£1000 ?
I read it as £799 will be the cheapest, some vendors in between then the most expensive at £999
I never said huge discounts, you added that yourself. You then have to factor in the shipping costs like you said, shipping x500 in one go will be cheaper than shipping x500 individually.

Correct. $999 is recommended/suggested as youre aware. Guess who keeps the extra
Pricing does not work this way. The RRP of $999 would be by Nvidia factoring in sale price from themselves at bulk orders of X amount to company A and X amount to company B etc. There will be a big data base with stats showing all this. It will factor in transport costs and the expected margins.
Further to this the cost, if they are from a 3rd party such EVGA, they will have a rate they buy direct from and know their margins accordingly. This would have been set and any cost to make EVGA more than MSI for instance is EVGA supplying to Overclockers at their target margin.
