Newegg is started to become one of those ridiculous e-retailers. Newegg, you can kiss my A*S*S.

 

[Gary_Busey]

What the fuck are you talking about? They're the best computer hardware online retailer there is.

I bet you that's a typo on the e6300 price.

Agreed. Built my alst PC off Newegg but their prices are not close to competitive anymore... And this Core 2 Duo pricing is way high... I'll wait for someone else to get a retail box at a resonable markup.

 

[tekturk]

Did you see their prices lately? it's not only the Conroe's that you can find it cheaper at other websites when you google their hot products. What good is it for me when they have a jacked up prices even they have the fastest shipping? I want to save money period.

 

[Gary_Busey]

They've obviously screwed up the prices. I don't think that was intentional. Why would they price two processors $10 apart?

[Assman]

I thought newegg was better than this...

 

[Gary_Busey]

Maybe everyone should let them know their prices and description are out of whack:

I pray this is wrong, however I agree. Thier prices are nothing like they used to be. I have priced out my entire system on zipzoomfly.com and its very close to newegg, and zipzoomfly has no shipping charge on anything.

 

[tekturk]

I think this situation happens to everyone and/or everything we come across. When you give too much credit or respect to something or someone, they loose their sight of decency.

unfortunetly, you may be right

 

[hobbawapa]

thats is just plan highway robbery. i was planning on ordering a e6300 from newegg but zipzoomfly is shoulding very tempting right now

yes, i might go zipzoomfly for e6400 also

 

[hobbawapa]

Obviously thats not going to be the final price. I mean they dont even have the cache right. It says the E6300 is 4m shared cache.

I bought my Sempron64 from Monarch cause it was $39 more at newegg. Then 2 days later they dropped it to the same price as Monarch.

One thing about newegg, there cpu prices are usually competative, but at first they always start high. Not sure why but you will see then drop in a couple days.
Zipzoom fly is usually a little cheaper on any cpu.

staring high doesn't mean about $170 higher than a competitior

 

[sluzbenik]

Lol..I just chatted with a rep. They are aware of the problem and working on it...

He says he couldn't give me correct pricing as he only saw the same stuff on the web as we do.

Nice one New Egg, nice one.

I said "nice launch" and he typed back a smiley face.

Geezall..

 

[Assman]

I see your point but still $120 (compared e6400 on zipzoomfly), man that's wrong

 

[ocnewb]

If these prices stick, the tube of AS 5 I just got will be the last thing i buy from newegg.

Their service is unbeatable but:

If i can save 170 bucks and free shipping somewhere else. Well Its a no brainer.

Sent them an email, quoting prices from ZipZoomFly as well as the L2 cache on E6300.

ZipZoomFly has:

E6300 - 219
E6400 - 279

For anyones Info.

 

[hobbawapa]

but don't forget you get free shipping from newegg two that about a $150 value so it about even :roll:

NewEgg is definitely charging a premium. They tend to do that when they get something new & shiney in. Earlier this morning they didn't have a single Conroe available.

I always keep a spreadsheet of my next PC build as I do research and I have a links for the same parts at NewEgg and ZipZoomFly. I've been watching the way NewEgg does pricing for over three years. On average ZipZoomFly is about $40 cheaper than NewEgg for a complete box build (including shipping) and they have 2 day shipping rather than NewEgg's 3 day shipping. My last build was with NewEgg, but my next will be with ZZF for sure.
What's interesting to note is that since about a year ago, NewEgg started becoming less competitive in pricing. Presumably since they have a huge customer base and people might pay the slight premium because of who they are. Granted they've got a nice website with good information. But what's to stop me from researching on NewEgg and buying from a competitor like ZZF? Nada.

 

[hobbawapa]

yeah the only reason i am going with newegg(well i guess was before this) was because of customer support this will be my first build and if i had to return something i needed good support but my next build when i know what i'm doing is going to be fro mthe lowest place. which may be newegg may not?

Exactly.

I think newegg.com will bring down their prices in a few days. It doesn't help me though 'cause I'm looking to pick up the E6600. Newegg doesn't list it and ZipZoomFly is out of stock.

 

[icbluscrn]

Wow , 399 why so much? frYs B&M also have the 6400 with intel xbx975 board for $499 comboand i thought that that was a bit high. as far as prices i like clubit they had the 6400 for $259,
