If they have to ship the servers from Paris we all know what the Paris-Roubaix road looks like... it may take a while.
should I want one too? guess the LE-B 1270v3 64G 2x1.92T NVMe is this years real lottery winner... I would need it in europe on an EU account though.
if one of you gamblers has a gem left to transfer out, let me know... FOMO is getting strong now.
So whatever happened to KS-A? Didn't OVH say that they were going to restock and set up some sort of customer limit.. did it ever come back outside of SGP?
I have 26skleb01-v1.ram-32g-ecc-2400.softraid-2x450nvme.fra
Thanks thanks....
No, they will never be back and Octave said it but never happend
I guess everyone else is still waiting on LE-B RBX, I can see it either being amazing or stock
Yes that guy. Not delivered today, yesterday.
the only limit they added was 2 per location on the web order. which is also lifted on the LE, you can get 10 of them on web. but you can set another order as many times as you want.
API i think has no limits at all.
as long as api access and no real limits exists, the good ones will always be OOS before any normal person will have a chance.
they should do an opt-in for everyone interested and then draw randomly who gets 1-2 servers, or else 90% will get to resellers and scalpers. (but they don't care, money is money.)
Sounds about right -_-. Not enough profit being made from these LE servers to justify all the redesign work to the web interface, api, support systems, creating a lotto system, etc, etc.
Any new deliveries for KS-LE-B at BHS recently in last few hours?
My order from today is being processed in BHS, but it is possible that the order will be canceled if the stock is not available.
May be a few ryzen or EYPC are coming up at BHS... fingercrossed.
still waiting for my orders from yesterday morning, sbg and fra

since we are all here
I dont think that is going to work for a company on the scale of OVH. They heavily rely on automation. I reckon the best OVH could do is disable ownership and contacts change on Sales and Limited Edition servers. @ninzo59
Very few people legitimately need a dozen LE-B servers, most just buy a bunch of these to either scalp or to get glazed by the community.
Another reason why this has become a trend is because LET and a bunch other sites allow transfers of these servers for money. If all sites got together and clamped down on ownership transfers, this hoarding and scalping of servers would stop overnight.
The scalping would stop.. the hoarding however....
Bro actually tagged @ninzo59 We're cooked lmao
Oh. My. God.
I better drop Octave an email now, offering some baguettes to smooth things over....
Because you know, disabling a core system for 5 product codes is such an easy task, and will be done in seconds of them reading it.
Every year people complain about this but the api is public for everyone to use there's no secret waiting list or plan code only available to certain users, everyone has the same access and same chance (more or less) it takes less than 2 minutes to start a script and grab a few LE's, But i do agree mostly but theres no fair way for everyone it will be abused regardless the same way all limited product releases work people who genuinely want one will be prepared to get one, its like waiting for a game release and turning up at 2pm when everyone else has been queuing since 6am in preparation, sure some people will be buying multiple just to resell but thats just life, time is more important to some people
It's all about planting an idea bro. You know, Inception...
wdym, anyone had the chance to join the race.
Everybody here knew, OVH is API first.
Here on LET, there is a price limit on that.
Plus, a bunch of people give them away at cost.
I get the frustration, but honestly, even if you could somehow ban all reselling, these servers would still sell out instantly. Their price/performance is genuinely unbeatable. I don't think there's another provider with comparable specs at this price point.
About the API thing, the tools are literally open source and available to anyone. If someone sits there refreshing the web interface instead of using the scripts that everyone shares freely, that's kind of on them tbh.
You could implement all the restrictions you want, but you'd still have thousands of people fighting over limited stock. The scarcity doesn't go away, you just change who gets lucky.
The most profitable option would be for them to have some kind of server auction so they sought after configs are sold according to the actual demand. Otherwise people who want to use them are buying from scalpers who pocket the difference instead of OVH. Props to those couple kind guys who pass them at cost here on LET.
Second best option for OVH is to keep this system where many people buy them to show off, run YABS and idle for couple months. OVH pockets the installations fees and saves on electricity. But still the cancelled ones sit unused and unpaid for months before the next sale or to get finally scrapped.
I get it the API is public. Everyone can use the script. It just feels like the PS5 and Nvidia GPU bot races from the Covid days. Now we're using bots to buy freakin kimsufi servers. And yes I get it one guy is reselling the KS-LE-B at cost just so he/she can get glazed and become "popular" in the community. Most want $130 or more for a lottery LE-B.
I can honestly guarantee you that banning transfers on OVH's end and LET+Mjj's end will fix 90% of the problem.
+1 LET is more legit even though scammers are here too. Scalping or not, that depends. OVH shouldn't stop the transfers or LEs, they can simply disable their API based ordering for normal OVH users or set the limit.
But will they ever do that for revenue loss and also to stop the excitement and happiness of the people (eg. LET) on 10-15-year-old servers? Quite amazing when you think about our craziness and obession here
I think ovh can just release sale event on api and Web in the same time.
So then chances will be equal
