Still @ £151.99 on Amazon
by profit you mean loss?
Many thanks in advance and I hope you get your cards!

Nothing they write on their website effects your statutory rights under the sale of goods act.
They made an offer to treat (the sale price/description) someone here even double checked it was correct with them, and they accepted the contract (they took your cash/charged your card)
You cannot do takie-backies once both parties have agreed to enter into the sales contract. They have to deliver the goods/service.

Even if you do get them to send the cards, you'll have put so much time and effort into it you might as well have got a part time job and bought a 780.
Ha ha. Good luck guys.

When has a 650ti ever had an RRP of £258.95? That's the price you would expect to pay for a 7950!
and finally you need evidence of them accepting you payment so screen grab your credit card statement also.

The MSI 7950 is correctly listed on the co.uk site here, the part asin number being B00B06M0O2:
amazon.co.uk/MSI…950
What you will get is a 650 ti boost and will have to send it back, you can argue the desc is wrong, but Amazon will take it back free of charge. Is this worth the hassle to order on a off chance, no.

red circle = 650ti and NOT 7950
green circle = where its shipping from (if you need to ship it back).
If you wanna try your luck, buy from amazon! Shocking amount of ppl buying from amazon market thinking its from amazon.
....amazon OOS on 650ti and send u a 7950......

As you've suggested, if it's for Xmas, buying components now means you're effectively building a 6 month old PC (and probably paying more as a result).
Regardless, this is currently a great price for a 7950 but there are things to consider. Places other than Amazon offer game bundles with AMD cards. Nvidia have begun rolling out their 700 series (starting with the high-end).
Be realistic. 780 is £500+ and I cannot see 760Ti much lower than £300 thb, not before 880 is out. Green is good at inflating the price.

nice try tho.

CBeebies is over.
A little proper research and it's easy to find that it's not even based on reality since the 8xxx series is an OEM rebadge and the GPUs coming later this year from AMD are being released as 9xxx.

I really wish you could make your mind up ?? Really it is not that hard to do ?..Surely.
So on Thursday I got the email most of us got, that the item was the wrong item etc blah blah. I almost wasn't going to phone them after that but anyway, yesterday I called at lunchtime, on this number: 01606 609 396. Spoke with a guy called Issac M (He wasn't allowed to give the full surname). At first he basically said he can't do anything, then I basically said I was unhappy and it should be fulfilled etc. He went and spoke to a supervisor, he then came back and apologised and offered me a £5 credit into my account. Didn't mention anything else, had I accepted that, that would have been all! But I said, is that it £5, I asked if a product comes into stock can you fulfill it and he did agree, as long as its sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Also he will give me the £5 in my account. Didn't really know how true to the deal they would be, he did say its on my account notes.
This is the email he sent me straight after:

So later in the afternoon on my phone I spotted the same card at the normal price about £247. Under other sellers Amazon was there. Called up and spoke to a Bryan, he wasn't allowed to transfer me to Issac. Long story short, he spoke with a supervisor and agreed to fulfill it, but because I wasn't at a computer, he said he will call me back. After that I did notice on my pc that the listing changed it's pictures to another msi 7950 with a single fan, I didn't want that one and didn't want to take the risk. While waiting for a call back, I thought I'd pull up another and ask for that and see what happens. I saw the gigabyte and wasn't too keen on that but came across the Sapphire 7950 vapor-x at around the same price at £249. This also had good reviews etc.
So when he called back, I explained that I want the Sapphire one as it's in stock and the MSI is 2-4 weeks shipping time and I need it asap etc. He wasnt keen as it wasn't MSI but went and asked his supervisor and agreed.
So basically I ordered 2 of them, while on the phone, as my original order was for 2. the total was just under £500. He amended the order and put each card at £151.99. Plus the £5 discount was applied. Plus he threw in free express delivery, this was about half 5 yesterday I think. So the total was 298.98!!
Then he sent me this email:
Hello Mr. xxxx,
Good day! This is Bryan, the one you've spoken with a while ago. Before anything else, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for being a valued Amazon customer.
I’m sorry about any misunderstanding about the price of "Sapphire 11196-09-40G HD7950 3GB Vapox-X Graphics Card".
Our prices may increase or decrease based on a number of factors.
I've checked the price of "Sapphire 11196-09-40G HD7950 3GB Vapox-X Graphics Card" and can confirm that our price for this item will be GBP 249.39 per item when you place your order.
As your order hasn’t yet dispatched, I’ve adjusted the price to reflect the current price of GBP £151.99 per item and the full amount for the 2 items cost is £298.98 since we deducted the £5.00 promotional certification from this order.
Aside from this, I also changed the shipping method from Free Super saver Delivery to Express Delivery and it's FREE OF CHARGE.
Delivery Due Date: Saturday, 8 June 2013.
This is the price you’ll be charged when the order is dispatched.
When we dispatch your order, we’ll send you an e-mail to confirm the date, contents of your order and method of delivery.
I hope that I was able to solve your problem. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Warmest regards,
Bryan
Sorry for the long post guys, but I just want to tell it how it is, I'm sure it will be appreciated
Oh and, tomorrow.... It's my 26th birthday. Not bad eh?
This morning, half bloody 7 in the morning, Look what I got
Good enough for ya?
You're very welcome, glad me and Rev could help out and its good to see others getting a deal.
This is why the trolls earlier on here don't get these types of offers, they are negative by nature so are ill equipped to handle the situation with Amazon.
