Supply and demand if you don't like it then don't buy a conroe yet.
Why should they post them at $300 and have 1000 back orders and all those people yelling at them about when they'll get their chip.

If you want to complain about it, save up your pennies and buy the company... then set the prices at whatever level you choose... you could hook us up with $1 C2D's and $.50 motherboards.

Of course I'm being sarcastic and think you're a tard for suggesting a boycott.

Go back under the rock you crawled out from!!

Newegg may not always have the cheapest prices, but they do have the best customer service.
 
NewEgg has same day\next day shipping (meaning it leaves their warehouse same or next day)
NewEgg won't let you order stuff that they don't have in stock
NewEgg's prices are typically low (they used to be the lowest)
NewEgg doesn't rape you on shipping
NewEgg does a very good job with representing rebates
NewEgg makes rebates available on their website even months after they have expired (in case you need to download, print, and mail)

Don't like their Core 2 Duo prices? Then go get them elsewhere for less. Supply is so limited and demand is so high that raising the price is warranted.

Don't confuse supply and demand with the collusion of gas companies and OPEC.

Price gouging is more reserved for neccessity items like gas and water, you don't really need a conroe. The newegg prices is just good business practice, just let supply and demand run its course, the price will drop sooner or later.

Alright, tell me which you think is worse:
:arrow: Newegg, which sells you the hot item for a little bit more money because it's a "hot" item.
:arrow: TigerDirect, which sells you the product for a slightly lower price, only to tell you after they charge your credit card "By the way, we don't actually have what we just sold you."

You want to know something? If you buy the product at launch, you're almost guaranteed to get ripped off, regardless of the vendor.

well we the consumers have to put an end to business practices like that by boycotting vendors who decide to take advantage of their customers. i'm sure they have lost alot of loyal customers by doing this. maybe in the shortterm they may have made some loot but in the long term they have made alot of people go to other vendors to make their purchases who probably would have bought all their components from them. boycott these rat douches! boycott newegg!

I agree with boycotting them off these forums, because of constant Spam and advertising of newegg n tigerdirect.

But i don't agree with your reason why.
CPU Prices change constantly. that's why you always see (prices are subject to change) in just about any CPU/RAM pricing you can find.
Its like kindergarden stuff in the computer industry. Learn!!

I have some economics background, so maybe I can shed some light on this.

In any situation, you try to balance the supply against demand through changing the price. If you set the price too high, nobody buys your product, and you're stuck with a lot of inventory on your shelves. If you set the price too low, you run out of inventory, anger customers by having nothing in stock, not to mention lose out on some of your margins as opportunistic customers will resell what they bought for a higher price (X360 launch, anyone?). Newegg's a pretty big company with a rather solid track record; I don't think they set the price where it is because they don't believe that they can sell their entire inventory of their C2D processors at the price they are selling them for. And, to be honest, they're probably right; the E6600 and E6700 are two of the best chips money can buy, even at an inflated price, and they'll still sell at the prices that some of you are complaining about. If you don't like the price, don't buy it until the prices drop or shop somewhere else; it's that simple. Nobody's holding a gun to your head and telling you that you have to buy an E6700 from Newegg and only an E6700 from only Newegg.
