Edit 2 - get this card cheaper at the following deal:

Gigabyte Eagle Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GDDR6 + Starfield Premium Edition $466.65 (eB+ $455.67) Delivered @ Computer Alliance eBay

—

Edit - based on updates in this recent Epson deal, consider buying this card for the same price from another retailer such as JW Umart or MSY

Never before has a retailer made a price error, accepted payment, shipped the stock and then mid-transit, recalled the delivery back to the warehouse without explanation

Why does the stock management on Centre Com's website suck so badly?

I was buying some stuff in-store the other day and asked them about why they keep cancelling orders. Found out their back-end is complete garbage.
It's possible for there to be, lets say 5 in stock, and it would allow infinite amount of online orders to go through because it doesn't update in real-time, or fast enough.
It's actually best if you go in-store to buy it because, and I suspect, it's possible for you to buy and receive the card in-person ahead of an online order that was placed first

What's wrong with Centre Com?

Bottom of every page: "Centre Com reserves the right to not make a loss"
Translation 1: "If we fark up the price, we will not honour the price, hold your money and then stuff around before refunding it"
Translation 2: "Our stock availability is unreliable. When we don't have it in stock for the special price, we will gladly sell it to you one day later for a higher price"

I don't know how the price of this card has held around $500 for so long…

  Gamers Nexus did a video saying it was the best card value for money for 1440p.
  It might drop another $50 but until something comes out at that price point which equates to better performance per dollar it will be king until then.

    This is completely intentional. New gen pricing makes old gen look good so people buy the old gen. Once old gen stock has been sold they lower price of new gen so it then becomes appealing.
    
    Doing it any other way means they get stuck with a ton of old inventory they have to discount heavily to offload.

  Card is already $400
  
  The balance is AMD forcing you to take the copy of Starfield Premium because they would rather take a hit with Bethesda than fund price drops with every AIB
  
  RX 7700 to be announced next month and released September at AU $599 before the Starfield promo ends
  
  Once the Starfield promo ends, 6700 XT and 6750 XT stock will be clear and AMD will start dropping 7700 prices

How does 6750XT compare? $50 more and not marked down, but supposedly better though (slightly)? Seems it's just clocked up a bit, and chews more power along with it?
- cheapdoodau on 20/07/2023 - 18:39
  
  I think 6750 is just an overclock, and maybe some extra memory bandwidth.
  
  You could buy this and OC it yourself for similar gains…. or just pay $50 and get an extra 0-10% benefit out of the box

  Faster GDDR6 memory speeds, identical core, 5% difference at 1080/1440/4K
  
  Good buy if the price is the same, otherwise an unnoticeable difference
  
  Better to spend the $50 on a better quality SSD or PSU

    It doesn't take 4 days to refund it. That's the point.
    
    He wrote in the letter that they had already processed the refund.
    
    It's either too good a deal and they'll claim it's a pricing error.
    
    Or it's not good enough a deal against Amazon, and you get to avoid this headache going elsewhere.

        @bjt: it really depends on how many people they need to process. Every refund should be done manually (there really shouldn't be batch press a button for refunds) and if there's a big queue of refunds to go through it'll take a few days. I also imagine for security reasons not every Customer service staff has access to the actual refund button.

        You need to chill down a bit also your neg vote is unfair and it should be revoked.
        It sounds to me that you're the typical person who is best suited to buy stuff directly in the retail stores where they charge >200% markup.

        They also informed me that if I pay with Afterpay it will also attract a surcharge because it is essentially a credit card in their eyes.

        The surcharge fees go to your loved Afterpay so you should complain to them.
        
        So they sought their revenge by keeping the surcharge.
        
        The surcharge is attached to the banking transaction and it doesn't revert back so it got nothing to do with Centrecom.
        You're lucky that they refunded you because they don't like to do business with people like you, it's just too much headache.
        What you did is a "change of mind" so usually shops charge a 10% restock fee.
        
        The only store I’ve found that puts a surcharge on Afterpay.
        
        And in the past shopping and paying with a credit card was free of charges, debit cards where exempted from charges but now many shops charge a transaction fee.
