Wow £6K!
I suppose they deserve to sell at a premium in the UK because the seller is effectively providing a service, taking away the waiting time and some of the risks of buying from China (although I think I'd prefer to buy from the manufacturer than some unknown Ebay seller). But I think £6K is a bit OTT. £3-4K would be more reasonable IMO.
I haven't been able to understand the correlation with Bitcoin's price and NiceHash's pay rates either. I'm not sure there even is a direct correlation. I suppose most buyers are using the hashing power to mine altcoins. Presently it seems altcoins are being sold in favour of Bitcoin as people rush to hoard as much Bitcoin as possible before the creation of BCC a little later today. Thier reasoning of course being that the more Bitcoin they hold, the more 'free cash' they receive. The reality of course is more complicated than that and I expect we'll see the prices of both adjust to compensate for the split.
