Just thought it was funny... but in the newegg halloween ad above...

they are selling an AMD 30000+ for $163.

Just thought it was an amusing little goof. :D

Wonder how they messed up...
 
The ad I'm seeing mentions a camera, LCD and notebook. No CPUs. :confused:

what board goes with that? i'm thinking an nforce500 with ddr2000. am i wrong?
 
They're advertising that at that price cause that's what they're selling it at...why are you ppl suprised? Is it a hot deal or a bad deal??? I'm an Intel guy myself so I wouldn't know...

THANX
C'YA :cool:

EDIT: I can get it cheaper elsewhere as usual :rolleyes:

Considering it's the perf. rating equivalent of a 30GHz P4, I'd love to see your "found it cheaper" link :p

OEM
1 - $151.00 - FREE s/h - RR = 8.41
2 - $157.00 - FREE s/h - RR = 8.52

Retail
1 - $158.00 - FREE s/h - RR = 6.53 - (normally I wouldn't buy from a 6.x RR rating but since I HAVE bought from them 3 or 4 times I 'd buy from them again...most complaints are for inacurate stock status and kinda slow ground s/h which have no affect on the product itself)
2 - $161.00 - FREE 2nd s/h - RR = 9.07 - (You can also get a FREE 10-pack 48X CD-R media with this CPU)


And what's stoopid is NE is selling the SAME CPU at the SAME price but for their OEM version...ummm...shouldn't OEM products be a bit CHEAPER than your retail products??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

THANX
C'YA :cool:

P.S.: I'm not TOTALLY dissing NE...every once in a while I might find a decent price...but their only a few bux under the lowest, decent RR rating reseller...and once in a blue moon I might find something from them worth buying that's the cheapest anywhere...in THAT case I'd buy from them...NE is SO overrated IMHO...
 
The ad says AMD 30000+ not AMD 3000+.

extra 0 there.
 
:eek: :eek: ok so I'm going blind so sue me...(mumble) damn eyes (grumble)...
/slams door never to return

EDIT: wait a sec...there IS no 30000 :confused:
EDIT 2: Ok I get it now...staying up ALL NIGHT with no sleep makes my brain/eyes a little slow...the AD may say 30000 BUT the page that the ad links to doesn't...that doesn't change the fact that you can't get the 3000 cheaper elsewhere

You are totally missing the fact they are advertising a 30,000 +

Not 3000.
