Shipping included in the $482 (based on current exchange rate) Seems very cheap to me. Out of stock but will be shipped when in stock. My first post, hopefully it's helpful.

          Reduce risk; not to hold unsold stock when the next gen comes out and this is less popular/price falls.

          Did you even read their above comment? Their intended use was for a mining machine.

    $501 with shipping is correct?

      If you let Amazon do the currency conversion, yes… If you don't then it's €315 which is roughly AU$482.

      It can be slightly cheaper if you chose payment in EUR instead of AUD when you pay with a 0% foreign transaction fee card (e.g. 28 Degrees, Citibank Plus, Bankwest Zero Platinum)

  • syaugi on 06/01/2018 - 22:41

      It has been out of stock since it was first posted. The hope is that they will ship it for the price once they receive more stock, in lieu of cancelling all orders.

  • Gumbootboy on 06/01/2018 - 22:48

    I've never purchased tech online from overseas before, mainly due to warranty concerns, but this is an amazing price from what I can tell, so I have a few questions….
    How do international warranties work? Are they honoured? or Do you just try you luck and if you get a lemon bad luck? Do you post them back (at who's cost)? Do you deal with Amazon or the Manufacturer?

    If it's a pricing error or is not fulfilled, what do you expect instead? Nothing? A gift voucher?

    I had Amazon AU cancel a order $60 recently, and they gave a $20 voucher, along with a full refund (technically they never actually took any money).

    • mec on 06/01/2018 - 23:03

      Amazon customer service is second to none. But generally you can't send it to a manufacturer here you would need to ship it back to amazon france.

      last time I exploited a price error with fellow ozbargainers for an ssd on amazon france we didn't get a voucher edit https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/262415?page=3#comment here is the deal.
      this could very well change

      edit 2: but the ssd was a stupid unrealistic price and this is a moderately unrealistic price so it's possible but don't count on it

      You will need to rely on Amazon France for any future RMA requests. No sure how Amazon France handles RMA freight costs, so best check with them directly.

      Asus Australia wont provide you local cover. Excerpt from my recent request below:

      As you might be aware, that the GPU was not sold in Australia, and ASUS GPU not apply global warranty, so this GPU will be considering with out of warranty.

      Please be noticed, for out of warranty (OOW) service, there are four terms and condition will need to be aware as below

      Handing/inspection fee ($44.00 AUD) will be applied, it is not refundable
      Repairable parts/materials costs will be charged after inspection
      Fixed item, will be given three months extended warranty after the date of return
      No Guaranty on repairing the problem

      If you consider sending faulty unit for OOW service, we would like to apply first handing/inspection fee on you and then you can send it to service center for next procedure.

    • bottomcoughs on 07/01/2018 - 07:56

      Amazon only covers warranty for the first 30 days from the date you receive it, then you have to go to the manufacturer directly.

      Dealing with Asus directly won't be easy either as you'll need to send to Taiwan and they don't cover shipping.

      Also from experience, you'll only get a nice "sorry" for their error.

    • idonotknowwhy on 07/01/2018 - 08:13

    based on the upvotes, amazon france is going to see alot of orders from "australie"

  • Gazzitas on 06/01/2018 - 23:14

    I hope my order doesn't get declined because my credit card account doesn't have proper funds at the time stock arrives, and by the time I find out or react, stock is gone for good.

    • Agret on 07/01/2018 - 11:16

      Don't worry, that's the purpose of a credit card. If you don't have the funds the company lend them to you on credit. Just make sure you pay it off before you have to start paying interest.

  • hasher22 on 06/01/2018 - 23:27

    Is it me or this is really really cheap for a 1080? Wouldn't the cost price be more than that? I overheard MSY stating they don't make that much profit on a 1080 since the cost price is so high (assuming the cost price is around the same worldwide).

    • stevarja on 07/01/2018 - 12:47

      I know PC parts prices and i can safely tell you that MSY doesn't make much at all per item sold. However they push prices way down and expect big volume sales push up their profits.

      • hasher22 on 07/01/2018 - 21:10

        In your view, buying this around $482 AUD from an international seller, too good to be true? lol.

  • mec on 06/01/2018 - 23:27

    Should be able to fulfil it. I ordered Crucial Ballistix DDR4 32GB ram back then from Amazon France and it was $95 euro, that's like AUD 145 for today's conversion. Dirt cheap!

    So it is possible Amazon will fulfil this order..

    Upgrading fro my 960.

  • ciyborg on 06/01/2018 - 23:57

    I dunno how you guys are getting $482 after conversion. Iam getting something like $501

    • exit on 07/01/2018 - 00:00

      pay in euros instead of AUD

    • pizzip on 07/01/2018 - 00:01

      Don't use amazon's converter. Keep in mind if you don't have a "no international transaction fee" card you'll be charged 3% or so in fees.

      • ciyborg on 07/01/2018 - 00:07

        Ahh I see. Thank you pizzip and shot. 3% fees roughly brings the total price to $496 with $14 in international transaction fee. Thanks for the heads up. Hope all our orders go thru. Seems too good to be true at that price to be honest 😁

    my account now shows 1 open order under comands.. but in cancelled order tab i have 2 orders cancelled….
    oh well… heres hoping for best but wont hold my breath here…
    at this price i think they prob getting hammered and no way they can fulfil orders even if they wanted to honor it.
    for those wanting to read french use chrome and translate pages to english…

          @shot:
          Yep.. my first thought was that i cancelled order first time.
          Made sure i translated each page 2nd time ..
          Not overly fussed if it doesnt get filled as im sure we will find another price error or 20% off deal to jump on

          Perhaps they are auto cancelling any recent orders until they deal with this whole thing. xD

    Great deal if you can get it.
    But with Volta not too far off, I think i'll just wait for that instead.
    New 60 series generally = old 80 series, but with warranty :)

    • exit on 07/01/2018 - 01:54

      new 70 = slightly better old 80 IMO

      Your statement is a bit far fetched :)

      • ArthurT85 on 07/01/2018 - 02:07

        70's are higher than that.

        1070 > 980Ti
        970 = 780Ti

        Not really all that far fetched.

  • Viospeed on 07/01/2018 - 02:12

    Excellent price especially with all the GPU shortages due to mining. All the retailers here in Aus have increased pricing by about $100 for the RX 580 cards. How does warranty work with an international order? What happens if u get a DOA card?

  • AlienC on 07/01/2018 - 03:53

    What is the next cheapest this has been. Thinking whether I should stock up on it or buy it in a year or two still. Not planning on building a computer anytime soon within a year or sotwo I think for the moment.. my mind may change though once winter comes lol but even then still too expensive for me atm maybe winter time next year.

      If you seriously wont build the rest of the computer for that long, DO NOT buy this. by that time you will be able to get the same performance for cheaper and with warranty and from a local store and with less power usage and heat

        Not sure about other people, but I negged because customundo represents the kind of opportunistic behaviour that makes the world worse for the rest of us. But I don't have anything against them personally.

        1. Buying multiple cards will reduce the likelihood of anyone getting anything from this deal.

        2. Buying video cards in bulk for mining creates gpu shortages and pushes up the price for the average consumer who just wants to game.

        3. The last thing our world needs right now is more energy wastage. Does anybody else feel like things are backwards when we are using all of this energy for something that doesn't produce anything tangible, doesn't contribute anything to society, and is purely for personal gain?

        Yeah and I was given four days to verify or they will cancel the order. Looked into it and this is a normal process for new accounts ordering a product over $100. Huge hassle to have to verify though but I guess I have to.

    • waladare on 07/01/2018 - 19:54

      Same here, faxing info feels so dodgy though.

      • an account statement or bank card statement containing your address

      • an RIB (bank account statement)

      • a confirmation from your bank, your bank details and the address associated with your bank account

      Obviously, you can exclude any details concerning transactions or banknotes. account, because these are not necessary for the verification process.

      • JD9151 on 07/01/2018 - 19:59

        It is really annoying having to do this. I submitted 2 things:

        • RIB details
        • Account Statement

        I guess a confirmation from your bank is the same as an account statement? Anyway I used a free fax service online and hopefully I can get it resolved. Other people say that they have been able to do so via Amazon.fr live chat.
