Thanks . Some shops raised to $559. Preordered from them at 500 then when go down collect suddenly is $559. Really is chop gao gao. So cancel preorder and look around.

hate this kind of shop.. should boycott... SIC name please.

Wahh but dont want to burn bridges leh. All this while okay up until now

*cTh*mes.

hmm... I reserved a Gigabyte RX580 from PCT. At that time, price list stated $399 (Early June). YiLong verbally warned me that he was not likely able to guarantee the same price when stock comes in, and he stressed this point very much to me so as not to sour my purchase experience with them. When it came it was $439 (Mid to late June). Upped 10%... It negated quite a bit of discount obtained from all the other parts :s22:

Anyway, were you warned of the possible price increase?

//edit: I bought the Gigabyte RX580 8GB Gaming version.
Also,
  1. I forgot to get back my GPU deposit from him. :s22: Went back the next day to get my $100 back
  2. I bought a CM Seidon 120V V3 Plus cooler. It does not come with AM4 mounting bracket. An oversight on my part. When I went to get back my deposit, Yilong gave me one AM4 mounting set FoC. :s12:

Hmm at that time i was quoted $500 even though pricelist was $469. But i was desperate so agreed to $500. No word on possible price increase but im not sure. They also didnt inform me that it had arrived ( they did contact me when Ryzen arrived to collect :/)even though i gave my contact no and name to reserve(order) Agreed on payment upon collection.

Only by chance i went down one day after i saw thier post saying had restock then got to know of the new price. So decided to cancel my preorder cos too exp alr.


Anyway, im not pissed at *cthemes or what. Just sharing my experience to clarify things

1) You ask if 580 is in stock.
2) You blame the miners for causing 580 to be out of stock.
3) You get a 580 and you ask if you were to keep or flip.

So, tell me, what's your objective here?

You blame people, you got the card and you want to sell it to the people you blamed.

Is this trolling?

Is just that i picked up the 580 quite late finally,but this close to Vega and had a fleeting thought on whether to sell and move to Vega once it comes out if it turns out to be good. But now holding on to the 580 for the long term (Navi) after thinking.


Anyway, if i did intend to resell it doesnt mean im going to sell to miners. It also could be gamers who are unable to find a 580 because of miners. The second hand market doesnt consist of only miners.

Nope, sorry.
But to add, PCT on 21 May,
Power Color RX580 [4GB Red Devil $419] / [8GB Red Devil Gold $449]

Cybermind 9 june
Asus RX580 variants, 4GB OC/8GB OC/8GB Gaming OC/8GB Gaming Top OC, $390/469/559/595
Gigabyte RX580 variants, 8GB, Gaming/AORUS/AORUS XTR $399/415/429
Power Color RX580 variants, Red Dragon 4GB/Red Dragon 8GB/Red Devil OC 8GB/Red Devil Golden OC 8GB $325/379/419/449

Asus is overpriced as usual.:s22:
Take note of 4GB variants.
Hopefully these should give you a rough gauge of prices 2 months ago.

So you going to interview them or go to their house to see if they are miners/flippers/real gamers? I applaud your righteous efforts.

Think you're trying to nitpick for the sake of it. That was when i thought of selling. But i am no longer selling it and using it now.

In that case, MOD should close this thread since you found your closure to your question liao - Use the 580 and not flip to gamers under the pretext of rarity due to mining.

You are quite the two face fellow.. Selling at $599 when u got it at $559?
Sigh.
I told you. I already installed in my pc. Read my words.I AM USING IT AND NOT SELLING ANYMORE.
opened that thread when i was thinking of selling it. Have no idea how to close it so i left it on there

So what price should i sell at? Some listings around carousell was $600 since some had told me to check the site earlier to get an idea of prices. Check few posts up
