    Haven't seen a good deal on graphics cards at all over the last couple weeks :( No games for me until I get one

    Adverts is flooded of some very decent cards at a reasonable price

    Few examples:

    Trying to use that Hardwareversand discount of VV7N451RUU, but when I apply it on my basket, I get the following error

    The voucher VV7N451RUU was created for a special customer. Maybe you have another user account.

    Anyone successfully used this before?

    Yes, I did, hence why I posted it. I friend of mine did too yesterday, no problems at all. Minimum spend is 400 euro I think on this.

    That's weird. I had €763 value in my basket and was still unable to use it.
    I found another code for €10 off orders over 100, and ended up using that one.

    Contacted hardwareversand and they said they can't explain why the voucher is not working. :(

    Yes, hence the reason why they are good deals: based on the market price you can always make a lower offer in Adverts

    The links I posted are new items

    That's a bit off colour. 'We don't know why but we're not going to honor it'

    When something says 'usually ships within 1 to 2 months' on Amazon, does it really mean it will take this long?

    Sometimes, yeah. I have seen stuff come faster though. They're covering themselves with that timeframe. If you want something guaranteed Christmas delivery, I wouldn't risk it if it was essential to be on the day.

    Definitely. I even checked often-more-expensive sites like Pixmania to see what those cards were going for -385 euro. Up to 400 I would let slide but 445 is a joke.

    No way skully you got it all wrong, he is one of the good guys. There was no way he was going to sell a dead dead gpu.

    Small print...Not at these awesome profit margins. is his surname name Maplin?

    .Maybe he is using the extra 100 euro to build a bigger wall to keep out nosey neighbours. :D

    I just reported him. Under Adverts rules he can't sell above RRP.

    That rule changed a while ago. As long as it's not tickets you can sell something at whatever price you like.

    I love the way it was brand new in box AND tested. It's either one or the other.

    Nah man, he just plugged two 6-pins into the side of the box it came in, assumed that there was no fan spin at low gpu usage and so it's tested. Don't question the mans magic!

    The gamestop of adverts - "why are you commenting on my advert ? Are you interested in buying my item or are you just going around giving your 'thoughts' on every bodies ads? If you don't like the price simply ignore the advert, maybe you should put a Gtx 970 up for sale at a lower price than mine if you are so interested in equality for all."

    Maybe we should start a thread specifically to warn about dodgy dealers that should be avoided.

    They're about €340 at the moment with free UK shipping. I'm not sure if that includes shipping to IE, so possibly add a few euros for parcel motel.

    Think that was tried before but was shut down. Witch hunting yadda yadda.

    It sucks that the removed the rule about over RRP selling.

    Probably outrageously hard to enforce. Plus Adverts would be setting themselves up for complaints if someone bought a product over RRP on a site where that shouldn't happen.

    Not from what i can see. Ball park is 275 - 295 on the most common sites (Amazon, Pixmania etc.). Either way 445 is still a crazy price.

    Most likely its a unique code linked to Cherrys account that only he can use.
