    price matching....

    Any chance of price matching?

    on another site the GTX 295 is available for under 400£ new (if you use a code it drops to £370) but unfortunatly here its £420. Do Scan do a price matching service? I know it seems like im being a cheap skate, but I cant afford the extra cash and I dont want to get a gtx 285.


    Many thanks.

    I seem to remember this has been asked before, and the answer was no. But also, it might be worth suggesting it for a "today only" deal. IIRC, ChrisP has the link for doing that in his sig.

    I'll do that. Im currently ordering £800+ worth of stuff and it would be nice to get the GTX 295 as well on top of all of that rather than a GTX 285.

    cheers

    The Man Who Can or something like that used to match prices or even make prices lower than other places, it happened when I ordered my stuff nearly 2 years ago and got £30 or so off my case.

    But they always charge extra for postage (no free Hexus shipping) so it usually works out more expensive* than if you just buy it from scan without asking the manwhocan

    *unless it is put on today only

    Oh.

    I thought it was Chris, but it might have been one of the others. Or it might be that they've stopped doing it.

    No doubt a Scan person will be along soon to point out which.

    I can't remember how many you posts you need to PM - , long day but please feel free to post or PM the parts you are interested in and we will look at pricing. We often find that overall we would be cheaper.

    Best Regards

    The link has been on the top of TodayOnly for about 12 years at least I think

    Actually the BFG 295 isn't in stock at the moment - so it's unlikely to appear on offer just yet. But if you send a request through (and enough other people do) then there is a chance...
