Fluctuating prices

[HotDogMan]

So is it likely the prices for components at PCS increase due to the coronavirus situation?

My build has gone up by £1 since ordering but a GPU I was considering jumped up by £30, is this normal with PCS prices or is the increase due to the virus situation?

Likely? No idea, its certainly possible - prices fluctuate all the time for all sorts of reasons. The prices can and do fluctuate even when there aren't viruses (etc.) causing issues.

@SpyderTracks put a good post up from a LTT video the other week indicating there could be a (future) shortage of certain electronic components given what is going on just now... https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/if....

PCS prices often fluctuate daily. They continually adjust to the stock prices available to them.

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of prices climb substantially over the next period though. I bought a Valve Index a wee while back and I'm thinking of selling it on with the demand

I'm pretty sure that any price movement is going to be upwards.
