So where is all the cheap G Sync monitors at. All i see is monitors over £350-1000 even though it's black friday season in UK. Or do i just have to wait on the exact day for it. Please may someone help me find a decent priced g sync monitor 24inch.

G-sync monitors are all expensive because Nvidia makes manufacturers pay a lot to implement support for it. You will not find cheap Gsync monitors even in the used market.

Choose one.

 

The G-Sync module, from what I have heard, costs around 250-300 USD for the manufacturer to buy, which is why the monitor start at 350GBP. 

The difficult thing about this is, that they could make a 400 USD G-Sync monitor, but than it would be criticized as "selling a 100 USD monitor, with a G-Sync module for 400 USD", which is why they tend to focus on the high(er) end.

i highly doubt it.  typically, in marketing, the manufacturer sells to the retailer for double what they paid to make it and then the retailer sells the item for double what they paid the manufacturer for it.  i highly doubt an $800 monitor is able to afford retail service, manufacturing, shipping, the monitor itself and a $250 g-sync module.

Well I could mention hardware manufacturer's usually don't directly sell to stores (retailers) and that your perception of the kind of profit margins on electronic goods is kind of off..

But yeah, maybe my example wasn't the best ever, it was just to illustrate why typically G-Sync monitors are more expensive.

I seriously doubt that retailers these days can double the price they paid to the manufacturer...

G-SYNC monitors aren't cheap.

 

The cheapest ones are >$300 and that's for the absolute cheapest ones, which tend to carry a significant premium over their FreeSync counterparts.

This is unlikely for consumer grade products (economies of scale).

and then the retailer sells the item for double what they paid the manufacturer for it. 

Extremely unlikely for consumer grade products - retail margins for computer parts is not that high in North America.
