Crazy price for an 8800GTS 640MB! (£131.69)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-nFire-.../dp/B000Q2SAKE

However, delivery in 4-6 weeks. But can't see prices falling anywhere near this in the near future.

Nice deal!

Now that would make it very attractive, and I have heard of Zotac before, they're a small nV AIB partner like Club3D for ATi/AMD.

But 4-6 weeks though, that's just nutz! 8O

Be sure to get a price guarantee with that kind of thing, a great X1650XT deal was posted but the reason for the price was they were out of stock and no guarantee on price when they finally do get more.

Not quite: [url=http://www.google.ca/search?q=%C2%A3131.69+in+USD&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a]According to the all-powerful Google[/url] it's more like 260.

Which is bloody astounding if I say so myself.

im keepin an eye on that one likes, if the price stays the same when theyre stocked im gettin one...or two

Thanks for that, ordered one

Its selling for $365 CAD on NCIX btw and FYI 8)

I bought mine for like $120 off in december for $440 and thats still a good deal, but this is uber cheap. The 320mb version is $330 so...

well the price just shot up to a stupidly high level.

Price: £500.00 & this item Delivered FREE in the UK

Holy Shit! LOL. I guess it's still at a crazy price then

Stupid money now. I wouldn't pay £500 for a GTX nevermind a GTS.

Strikes me they've put the price up to try to make up for the ones they undersold.

Dont forget Uk prices are normally way higher than US prices partially due to the included 17.5% VAT.. in other words this is equivalent to around $220 if you exclude tax! I ordered one. Yesterday amazon put the price up to 500pounds! I emailed them to ask if they would hnour the original price and they appear to have said yes (I think?)

let me know how it goes.. i got the same email from them as well but haven't pursued it. if you're successful i'll do the same

personally i don't think they have any legal obligation under uk law to fulfil the order, as they haven't taken any money.. but i'd love to be proved wrong

will

Yeah, it was a mistake that they should have caught, they have to honor those listed prices. I mean, all those lost profits would be a drop in the proverbial bucket for Amazon.

If I were in Amazon's place I'd honor the lower prices and keep all those people as customers, rather than have to go to court (small claims or not!) and probably lose all those people forever. Bad publicity!

I just received a further E-Mail from Amazon stating that they won't honour the price even though they did for our other member.

Therefore I have informed them I will be taking it to court, as I feel sure any Judge will agree , that what's good for one customer is good for another.

Check out trading standards too.

When I was working at a DIY store people used to come in and try and find miss pricing, ect, and we HAD to sell it to them at that price. (Or it seemed we had to, I never cared to read up =p
