My only current gripe with scan is EVERYTHING has to be next day delivery - there is no cheaper option, So if you only need 1 small item, you end up paying £3.80 or something for delivery when 1st class standard would have been fine for £1 or 2. its not worth ordering 1 small item from them like 1 120 or 140mm casefan for instance. Its just not worth the P&P

Lol, thats because some charge vat on shipping costs where others dont I think, after all 20% is 20%

it's a bit naughty really because all they are doing is passing the couriers charge straight to you, and then they can claim back those charges anyways when they do their VAT return........ so they make 20% of the actual courier charge for every transaction for doing nothing basically, where as some are just decent and take the hit but claim back at end of year.

I use lots of etailers, many of which are better (in some ways) than ebuyer/scan etc (although I do quite like them), Tekheads, Overclock (not Overclockers UK) and Ginger6 are but a few.

FreedomEclipse · Oct 18, 2011, 09:19 AM

I know about tekheads and ginger6. been meaning to give them ago

same deal is at AV forums as well, except the only requirement is that you have an account more then 14 days old

I am thanks........ just don't like scan as much as Novatech and Ebuyer.

Bo$$ · Oct 18, 2011, 06:31 PM

done a chargeback with my bank, gonna order of ebuyer or from a nice shop in town when i get teh cash back, gonna call me tomorrow about the extra details...

FreedomEclipse · Oct 18, 2011, 06:42 PM

It takes longer then 1 day to get your cash back you know. your money can be held as long as 30days while they review your case.

Not trying to shit on your happy thoughts, but they will most likely call you tomorrow to confirm if its possible or not then take another week (or more) to get your money.

thats what ive heard at least.

I've heard is is usually done within 1 week of filing the complaint...
It is better than the 28days that OCUK magically make up...

Bo$$ · Oct 19, 2011, 12:24 PM

managed to get the gigabyte gtx570 windforce x3 for no extra cost.... so i have made £44 + free batman code - £5 postage

FreedomEclipse · Oct 19, 2011, 12:34 PM

what happened to the chargeback?

If you can get the 570 and your money back. that would be totally win

InnocentCriminal · Oct 19, 2011, 12:43 PM

Asking for a bit of an appraisal on my 2GB XFX 6950. It's the reference card below...

Currently flashed to a 6970 without issue, how much d'you think someone would pay? It's only 10 months old.

FreedomEclipse · Oct 19, 2011, 12:55 PM

Not 100% Sure. but i would say anywhere between £220-250 as its a 6970 in disguise. XFX 6970s still retail at around £280 so i think £240 or 250 is a fair price. but i think your more likely to get £230 for it

I'd be more than happy with £230. I'm tempted to put it up for sale as I really want to get into downsampling and it's far easier to do on nVIDIA cards. Hmmm.... I wonder if anyone with a 570 would want to swap.

FreedomEclipse · Oct 19, 2011, 01:14 PM

570s sure are nice performers. some reviews put them faster then a 6970 by a tiny margin which is just horrific as a 6970 costs more

Bo$$ · Oct 19, 2011, 04:16 PM

Well i have a nice card arriving tomorrow make me an offer

Yeah, I am swapping out mine also for a 570..... just cause I am bored and need a change, I have a pile of new kit unopened here that I have had for 4 weeks but not had the time yet to install it all so may as well get a card too. This is mine @ 1.18V................

I only have the card, nothing else. Otherwise I'd make an offer. If I could downsample properly in CCC I wouldn't even think about getting an nVIDIA card.

Bo$$ · Oct 19, 2011, 06:04 PM

oh alright, i think selling outright would be best bet

Tatty, i hope my card will do 940 core

Fourstaff · Oct 19, 2011, 08:29 PM

Right, CCCP and MPC-HC are being jerks. My subs load, but I have to switch the subs through vorbis in the tray rather than use right click and switch subs inside MPC-HC. Anyone know the fix?
