It was $900 AR until a few minutes ago. Guess it's dead now, I see the same.Reads $950 AR to me...
A Microcenter near me still has some open box 6900 XT's for $735, if anyone is in the area. About 4 are left now. I considered them before going with this 3080 Ti for 910. I probably should have posted the deal on 3080 Ti's here, too, but it was quite local and it sold out very quickly. I don't think many other Microcenters are knocking their open box prices down quite this much.
Which MC location is that? The one near me lowest was $875A Microcenter near me still has some open box 6900 XT's for $735, if anyone is in the area. About 4 are left now.

Yeah all stores are run differently, the other Microcenter near me doesn't have prices anywhere near that generous. But I would keep your eyes peeled even if you're not in my area, because (though I don't know how the chain is run) this might be a big directive that's taking a while to distribute to the other stores in the chain. Or they're being instructed to keep it gradual. If/when they do get marked down, it's going to sell out pretty quickly. The open box 3080 Ti's at my store were marked at 1169 for a while and then suddenly I looked and they were all at $910, and they all got reserved FAST.I looked at the Mayfield Heights store and they do not have those prices, unfortunately.
Just click on my name and it should narrow things down considerably. Additional hint: it's the western one.Which MC location is that? The one near me lowest was $875
More like avoid Amazon.Daily reminder to avoid newegg if possible!
And their off....................More like avoid Amazon.
And their off....................
As far as returns go that's 100% wrong. Perhaps in other areas, but that's a pretty big one.I love media-crazed lemmings. The truth is Newegg is fine. These same people say to use Amazon when they're far less consumer-friendly.
Not to get off topic but since people are commenting on Newegg being an unethical seller. Watch these for background info. I have never had a negative experience with newegg but have a family member who did.
Exactly. Like when some asshole steals the card before it arrives at your door and they deny the claim.As far as returns go that's 100% wrong. Perhaps in other areas, but that's a pretty big one.
Exactly the kind of media the lemmings care about. I've never had an issue with Newegg they didn't resolve and I've shopped with them for over 20 years. Everyone has the occasional horror story with a vendor they can dig up, but it isn't normal for Newegg to do what they did there.[M. EDIA=youtube]2fnXsmXzphI[/MEDIA]

So how is Amazon "Far less consumer-friendly"?I love media-crazed lemmings. The truth is Newegg is fine. These same people say to use Amazon when they're far less consumer-friendly.
Common knowledge. Copying and pasting from another post of mine with one additional note on the end:So how is Amazon "Far less consumer-friendly"?
I can absolutely say for sure this isn't true. Someone had to do something that stood out quite a bit. I cite my return history.ban you for doing a couple of returns
I have a friend that was banned for returning a TV three due to defects (once was due to shipping damage) in a short time frame. I avoid contacting Amazon cs at all costs after having seen that. Their metrics are very obtuse and opaque, so it's hard to know what's OK or not for yourself. You could be one return away from a ban for all you know...I can absolutely say for sure this isn't true.

Hmm, can't say anything about returning stuff that high dollar back to Amazon. All I can say is I've made some very questionable returns no questions asked. Stuff that I very much doubt other places would have accepted.I have a friend that was banned for returning a TV three due to defects (once was due to shipping damage) in a short time frame.

I don't know, but I've personally had better experience with Newegg, though the extent of my personal issues with Amazon are just price matching an existing order before it even arrived with them refusing to, and getting what seemed to be a bootleg avengers infinity war bluray around black Friday .Hmm, can't say anything about returning stuff that high dollar back to Amazon.

Huh? Newegg never screwed me personally. I only messed up once by not seeing the "replacement only" return policy on an item. Well, you know what they say about making assumptions, lol.I don't know, but I've personally had better experience with Newegg, though the extent of my personal issues with Amazon are just price matching an existing order before it even arrived with them refusing to, and getting what seemed to be a bootleg avengers infinity war bluray around black Friday .
Sorry to hear Newegg screwed you . I don't blame you at all being wary of them after that!
Whoops, mixed you up with a different poster .Huh? Newegg never screwed me personally. I only messed up once by not seeing the "replacement only" return policy on an item. Well, you know what they say about making assumptions, lol.
Common knowledge on the www means very little...Common knowledge. Copying and pasting from another post of mine with one additional note on the end:
They comingle inventory. Who you select is meaningless there when there are also third party sellers. They also do little if your shipment is late, ban you for doing a couple of returns, and often have counterfeits or broken/swapped-item returns sold as new. Also, they won't price match themselves after an order has shipped, instead requiring you to send the item back and place a new order for it.
Did you not watch the video? Newegg says they inspected the board prior to shipping, which obviously they didn't do.I've done multiple returns with Amazon when I was looking at 1440p monitors (back when they were expensive). After the third one on a particular model, CS said, "You won't be satisfied with any of them because your reason for returning is the same every time" or something along those lines, to which I had to explain to them that each reason was different. Anyway, they didn't ban me but it's true they won't let you go past 3 exchanges very easily (and ultimately I just got one from Newegg that was luckily less defective...). But then again few companies will. I'm not sure this is on Amazon insomuch as we're expected as consumers to deal with just having garbage QC on panels and whatnot, because frankly very few people are very discerning about what they're getting. My friend had a panel that outright looked like the diffusion layer for the backlight was literally cracked in an area and you could easily tell on dark backgrounds. He didn't care enough. Who makes companies more money? You or him?
So with Amazon... the thing is, having done an interview with the company before... you're a number, for sure. But you expected that. You're not a person. You're probably associated with a certain expected return on investment based on your behavior. If it starts getting negative, they'll probably cut you off with no thoughts or questions asked. So it's important to build up some rapport and be careful on that front. ie Don't order things like monitors or TVs with high defect rates (for "picky" people) from Amazon before you've been with them a while. They're probably very serious about big data analytics and projected readings. That's the vibe I got from them. Are they consumer friendly? Policy wise, yes, they're quite friendly. But you also have to show you're profitable to keep. So they want you on a leash before you destroy their bottom line at all. It's a well oiled data analytics machine, and you're competing against idiots who don't know anything about the quality of their hardware. Again, who makes more money?
The thing that bugs me about that Newegg video by GN is he keeps glossing over the fact that he didn't notice that it was Open Box. The company has no ways of knowing whether they did or did not open it. Nor do we really for that matter, we just assume that's the case because we trust him and he says that other users have had similar experiences. Frankly at this point Newegg already has a reputation for Open Box issues, so why would you order from them? I'm not defending them but GN really likes raising a huge fuss over already known quantities so they can keep milking them. But on the flipside, obviously something was indeed obviously wrong with Newegg processes what he says is true. Would I order from Newegg? Idk depends on the product. But I'd sooner order from Amazon than Newegg for sure...
Amazon has sketchy third party sellers too, and unlike Newegg, as I said they DO MIX INVENTORY WITH THEIR OWN. It's called comingled inventory. Newegg doesn't.Common knowledge on the www means very little...
I've dealt with both companies and Newegg has had the worst return policy, I've never had any issues with Amazon.
Newegg also has shady third party sellers, by which they probably use if they are low on stock.
