I had a gander over on HUKD and they were selling HD6950 1GB and GTX560TI cards for around £130!!
They have now sold out!
However,there are some very cheap GTS450 and GTX550TI cards:

This single slot GTX460 is under £120:

About time, they have been getting their butts kicked on prices, I have shopped with them for 7 yrs, used to be my first port of call, once this year they have got my custom, scan and amazon have had my business this year.
It looks like the prices have all gone up now! One of the GTS450 cards was around £56!!
Hmm.. thats a shame.. I thought Ebuyer might be learning from their mistakes. I was looking at buying a laptop from them, but doing a simple Google search on the part number would save me £50 at least. If you want to Samsung netbook or a Monitor at good price they are quite good for that but not much else now.
My brother also gave up on them, saved a lot by ordering his Phenom II x6 system bits at Xmas through Scan.. and Scan didn't make fuss about the snow either lol!

But what you do get with ebuyer is seriously good service. Never had a problem with them and trust them to do the decent thing. Cheaper sites exist, but yours is the gamble whether something needs to be returned, and the hassle that can be incurred.
Ebuyer still get my custom - and I've found that for some things they have better ranges than the competition. Eg Patch cable for the trivial end. It's all well and good having websites that list an item as coming in a variety of colours, but not letting you choose which to put in your basket. Ebuyer win here.
And at the other end I've found them to do a good deal on twin GTX460 SoC GPUs, though maybe that was a Christmas special. I got 2 free copies of HAWX2 with them. Must download them thinking about it. Ah roll on end of exams...
did you mean the 6950? That's some discount!
The 1GB 6850 is still in stock at £125, though it is an XFX one http://www.ebuyer.com/product/244473

None of these easter deals were honoured by ebuyer, a good way of them to get an interest free loan.
They don't take money out until they ship.
Yes they do, they took out payment of more then a hundred people who ordered products from the easter sale, including mine, in fact they took out £99 when my order total was £97, still haven't received the refund yet!
Yes they take payment

The deals were non-existent, read the thread mate.
CAT, do I go for a Gigabyte GTX 550 Ti OC and cancel my order with SCAN's pre-order of a HD 6850 ?

The GTX550TI is much slower than a HD6850.
