@Gibbo I always wondered where the Members Market was as I couldn't see it, now I finally know. Shame because I'm never likely to get to 1000 posts, there just aren't enough hours in a day.

Been looking for a GPU to replace my RX580 since around November last year. At least now I can scrub OC UK off the list of sites to check if I know I'm not going to get a look in on these codes. I'm getting to the point of getting out of PC gaming to be honest, it's just got daft.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong point I take it?

HI there


Today/Tomorrow I hope to start trialling voucher code idea that is exclusive to forum members only.
This is a concept idea and will be rolled out slowly and as such our first step will be to test it to a more limited audience, we shall do this by ONLY posting the deal in members market, which only members above with more than 1000 post and six months membership can view.

Our reasoning for this is because their are several forum members and guest who leak out when we do heads up, so the last thing we want or need is a voucher code leaking out to then spoil it for all here.

So to begin with the first deal or two will be posted in members market.

The way it shall work:
- Card listed on website at a truly crazy price, like £10,000 - £20,000
- A voucher code will then be made to get the card down to a very fair price, as close to MSRP as possible though this is impossible in some cases as we pay above MSRP.
- The voucher will be time and quantity limited to help prevent over sale.
- The deal/voucher code will only be posted in members market, so only the longer term members can view it.
- Anyone caught spamming the forum's to increase post count will be dealt with and have their access removed to MM
- The deal SKU is 1pc per customers and limited to UK only customers.
- If OcUK identifies someone selling a voucher code deal at a scalp price on Ebay or any other platform you will also be banned.


If this goes well and the voucher code is not abused and we see steady sales, we shall then also make some SKU's available at a lower price with the use of a voucher in this public forum that all members will get a chance to buy, but rest assured if people decide to leak the voucher code and we see BOT's attempting to buy, the simple fact is this concept idea will then get pulled and won't be repeated.

We are doing this to try and help you guys out, by getting cards to you at very fair prices, the simple fact is as you all know we can sell the cards at similar prices to other shops and sell out within seconds, what we plan to do is offer you cards cheaper than anywhere else with a voucher code system, but if it gets abused it shall be pulled and we won't be repeating it, which in end spoils it for all.

Our plan/concept it not up for debate or ideas, it is something that has been worked on behind the scenes between myself, @ScottiB and marketing to try and get something functioning with the website/tools we have.

I do hope to have a card/deal live later today / tomorrow, so when you see a card online at around £10,000 you will know that is the card that we have a voucher code live on and that code will be posted in members market.#

Like I say if this works well, I shall do some deals here in this public forum and will continue to do so on the basis it works well, otherwise it will get pulled back to the more private members market which is also invisible to google/bots and if that is abused it will be pulled completely.

So in short!

DO NOT SHARE VOUCHER CODES EVEN ON THIS FORUM LET ALONE ANYWHERE ELSE!

Anyone actually seen sharing a voucher code on this forum or who we can ID from this forum sharing elsewhere will be permanently banned from the OcUK forum.

Gibbo, as always, appreciate your efforts to add value for the OCUK community. This sounds like a great idea, even if I'm still a bit short of posts at the moment, I'll get there eventually :D

I think a better idea is have a Haribo stock listing which we can purchase and after buying your £800 or whatever bag, O.C.U.K.simply throws a GPU in the box with it....

That’ll fox them damn bots:D
 
Right, I've now seen that it will be opened up. Probably. Next week.

Thank you for correcting me.

Honestly, with the attitude of the replies on this thread I'm really not surprised I've only got a post count of 76 in the last 7 years.

It's not specifically about you. Read back a few pages and you'll see more posts similar to yours .......understand the frustration..........over and over again.....

BTW it does make sense to look at the first post in a thread to see what it's about before replying.

The haribo thing is actually top tier, what's better than sitting there ready to setup your parts for the new build from OCUK, having a little unexpected bag of haribo stuffed in the box. Actually I dont want to make anyone jealous but mine contained more than 1 bag :)

This was pre covid etc though, not sure if this still occurs

Most of the people whom don't know these things expect the information given to them on a silver platter, getting mad if you don't. Very minimal effort is required.

I dunno I wish they could have perhaps checked account age and/or purchase history or something (although the orders were probably cancelled with a big script and not individually stopped)

There were hundreds if not thousands of orders, who has the time/ manpower to check each and every single one?

I agree OC'er are trying to do something for the gamers which is excellent although some of the old timers but less chatty like I am are currently missing out, I am sure they will sort something out for this group as well
(DOI- I have already received a card from them through the queue system so I am watching this with interest for the next generation upgrade)
