Maybe if they gave a free motherboard and overnight shipping they "might" sell, markup is understandable, but on the low end cpu's, and that high of a %.. give me a break.
SixFootDuo said:It's simple.
There are a number of price categories, please allow me to explain.
stealing - free
smoking deal - pretty damn cheap
good price - you don't mind at all
fair price - you can live with it
pricey - you know it can be found cheaper elsewhere
wtf - no thanks
rape - newegg
There, you have my modern day price category guide.
MOZZ said:sad thing is people will still buy them
all about supply and demand. demand is up you pillage the common folk
Donnie27 said:No way man, we don't have a clue and know nothing about how business' are ran. Yup, Newegg is really being fair and the good guys. To show our love we should rush out and buy from them.
No one expects Newegg to to sell at cost=P Yet no one expects 100% mark-ups either LOL! Folks trying to say this is OK, is full of it! As one guy already said, they should sale what they've been smokin' and I'll add or whatever in the hell they've been drinking. That's some gooooood stuff they're on.

don't you mean seconds?
Donnie27 said:Yup!
Remember that thread from last week about when will Newegg get Conroe? Think those guys rushed and bought them there?

j/p
ryan_975 said:I seem to remember you being one in the "full availability" crowd for a while. Good thing you changed your tune last month. . Or maybe I'm mistaken and just had too many "chemicals"
Donnie27 said:Yup that's me. That's what I get for listening to Intel Employees and NOT just the ones posting here. I quoted Paul Otellini as saying there'd be plenty on or near the launch date. I'f I'm wrong, I'll come clean and post just that, no BS!
ThatsAgood1jay said:Newegg is a great store. you just cant expect to get a cutting edge processor from them for a good price like zipzoomfly.
jreffy said:Wow, I'm really impressed at the amount of crying and whining in here. Were you people honestly expecting no markup on prices? Hello, we've only been talking for weeks about how Intel is only shipping 50 of each to the vendors. Basic economics, supply and demand. High demand + low supply = high price!
If it bothers you THAT much, then email them, don't buy from them, but enough of acting like you have a god-given "right" to a lower price. Yes, they are marking up the prices a ridiculous amount, but I've got news for you, they probably will sell every single processor within a day. So if they can sell their entire inventory at a high price, why not do it? They'd be stupid to not maximize their profits.
However, if this price hike has lost them lots and lots of customers, well then it was a bad decision. Newegg probably just took a calculated risk and figured that the customers they lose because of this price hike won't be detrimental to their profits.

First of all, save your breath and next time you have a thought, let it go.jreffy said:Wow, I'm really impressed at the amount of crying and whining in here.

Second, we are bitching because we have that God-given right. These chips can be found almost everywhere for $100+ less than they are selling them, a lot of people just trust Newegg for CS and fast reliable shipping. Recently they've price gouged horribly (here and with the 7900gtx fiasco) and switched to UPS as being their main carrier (horrible idea).
The E6300 can be found at ZZF for $219 with free shipping and the E6400 can be found at ewiz for $265. There are still many other places we have criticized for price gouging that are still a good $50+ cheaper than Newegg.
Selling chips for $100-$200 more than they can be found elsewhere is not markup, it's highway robbery.
ryan_975 said:Yeah, I was in the "Who fucking cares, I'll buy when I have money again." crowd Seeing that I won't have the money for a new motherboard, ram, OS, and CPU until at the very soonest December, I was safe in that crowd.
ryan_975 said:I acutally found the switch to UPS a good thing for me. FedEx always gives me problems.
