Re: Conroe, E6600 In-Stock at Mwave.

The price is a little bit high BUT ... the E6600 is the sweet spot it seems between all of the conroes released. Cost wise and it has the 4meg cache.

Dunno, personally, I wouldn't worry about the extra cost.

Hell, don't we all eat out fast food too much or drink, smoke? I don't drink or smoke but I know others in here do.

Point being, just put off buying that $40 dollar anime VHS or, paying your cell phone bill a little late or, ditching your girlfriend on a date or something. There are dozens of things we all do daily that effect the money we have tomorrow.

Money, easy come, easy go.

True, But im waiting on my 6800 :D
 
I thought msrp was $317. Making this ($425) way the hell jacked up. That's just ridiculous. I'd expect shit like that from ebay, not a respectable online retailer. Fuck mwave!!!
 
Hmm, retial price is $316. Thats an extra $109 bucks. I'll just wait a month or so for the price to come down.
 
I don't think there is an MSRP on any of these CPU's ... are there ?

I do know that there is a cost per unit based on a quanities of 1000 units.

For example, the E6800 is $999 if someone were to buy 1000 of them.

Right now, the market is driving the prices on these CPU's, just like gasoline or anything else. The factors for any service, item, etc may vary from one to the other but the end result is the same.

I think I got lucky being able to get my E6800 at $999. As I said the other day in my first posting, Microcenters computer had it listed at $1299.00.
 
holly tolidos batman!!!!!!!!
thats a big enchilada!!!!
you MUST be desperate to buy it for that much.
 
lol, bought mine for 360 off tigerdirect and thought that was expensive, but 425 is just blatant price gouging.
 
Good gosh, $316 is NOT the MSRP that we consumers pay. That $316 is Intel's per unit price when you order the E6600 in 1,000 unit batches; therefore, that $316 per CPU is what suppliers/distributors have to pay when they order them in 1,000-unit batches direct from Intel.

Retailers then have to buy the CPUs from the supplier at a higher cost than the $316, as the suppliers have to make some profit too. Then, you have to add on the shipping costs of getting the processors to the retailer, credit card fees, etc. and profit margins to the cost that the retailer then charges you. More often, retailers (such as TankGuys) pay around $332 to get the processors.
 
yeah, pass the word along ... I see this everyday, there is NO as in ZERO promise of any price at all on these cpu's or any other cpu for that matter.

And even if Newegg got 1000 of whatever at xxx amount. There going to want a profit.

Put that in your long term memory, please and also, call your mom and dad up ( not that they would know what the hell it was you were talking about ) and tell them, tell everyone, take an ad out even, something .. but retain that bit of infomation for the long term.

Too many people have that fact chopped and screwed.
 
I will gladly enjoy my $339 Tankguy price and get it next week thanks. I too was tempted by MWave tonight, but that $100 can buy me some other stuff...and will. I have the money for the gouge sitting in PayPal but refuse out of principle.

Still tough to wait! :mad:
 
all the idiots that bought ANY conroes over MSRP are the reason why the prices are being jacked so high....

sheesh people, learn to be a little patient...

Wow, $425 for a Conroe E6600 which goes for $350ish most places? Holy profiteering, bat-man!

Thats the premium for getting one of the first retail 6600 available :D
 
Overpriced is a subjective term and in reality, can't be applied logically. If something is overpriced it implies that there is some arbitrary line between two prices that determines the price below the line is fair and the one above it is overpriced. Now if someone is paying the "fair" price and they are asked to pay one cent more it becomes overpriced, but you can't add a single penny to a price and have it go from fair to overpriced.

So "overpriced" doesn't really exist.
 
That's pretty darn expensive.

I'd probably be an extra $40 at this point just to get a real order in the hopper, but $80? That's pretty significant. I can buy another component for my new machine for that.

True. Put into a realistic situation in this case, there really isn't a fair price to begin with. Intel has not established a MSRP, and due to that, there is no benchmark price to rely upon. A "fair" price now might be the lowest price that is charged for the Conroe processors right now, as that is the lowest that consumers can possibly get (e.g., from TankGuys.com or shopBLT.com). Even if people try to quantify the presence of a lower fair price by citing the Intel $316 cost, that point is moot due to the impossibility of attaining that price.

Just my 2 cents on this; that quote sparked a philosophical desire in me, even though my argumentive skills aren't exemplary... :D

exactly... you had an FX-60, you couldnt possibly have waited an extra month or so in order for the price gouging to die down a little?

$425 is alot for the E6600, but acusing the retailer for price gouging may be pushing it too far. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Its not like they the only retailer or have a monopoly on selling E6600. The retailer has every right to charge whatever they want, but you as the consumer have the choice not to buy it.
 
Waxing philosophical and real-life economics are like oil and water -- they don't mix well in this case. The bottom line is this: if all/most of the other vendors are selling product X for around Y price (give or take a few $ here and there) and another vendor is selling it for Y + a lot more, it's perceived as price gouging or price inflating. Once that mentality spreads like wildfire across the internet, primarily in hot deals forums like this, there is very little that will put that fire out. Kind of like a mob mentality -- it starts off small and can quickly escalate and be very very hard to quell. Look at all the negative feedback that a vendor who advertises here on the forums has been getting lately. (I won't mention the vendor out of respect) That all has started to snowball out of control. Look at TD and their rebate issues. Even if they truly have improved their system, the damage has already been done to their rep.

Hehe, heck yeah, like $70+ jacked. Will certainly pass on that price.

Too rich for my blood. I'll pass.

But thats why they will stay in stock a little longer.

Supply & Demand..... at that higher price the demand will be lower and the supply will probably match it better. They might raise or lower the price again if the sales aren't what they expect.

Purchased from them several times. A very reliable etailer. Shipping is usually a little on the high side for me so i don't order from them too often. This price is too high though imho.

But you can use the word to state an opinion...which is what people are doing.

As far as buying at a higher price.
For most people there's no reason to pay the premium for getting it early. In 2 or 3
weeks we'll all be using the same processors except some of us will have paid $60 - $70 less.
For people that have a currently functioning computer I don't see what the rush is.

In the long run, if you always buy products early you're throwing away hundreds of dollars.

The E6600 is better than the FX-60, I wouldn't really consider that an e-penis purchase.
 
Well, flame away and call me an idiot (I'm ready, haha) but I just ordered it. It was actually only $75 more than my TankGuys PO and I got next day shipping - I had 3 day shipping with TankGuys (and who knows when I would've recieved it.)

Anyway, she confirmed it will ship out this morning and I WILL have a retail E6600 in my hands tomorrow!!!!!

Woohoo!!!! I sold my A64 gaming rig 3 months ago and have been waiting a LONG time...so long that I've saved up more than enough to worry about $75. I simply don't care. I am on vacation this whole week and I'm bored and sick of surfing this site looking at Conore threads.

Ahhhh....the wait is OVER. So worth it.

My DS3 and Ultra-120 will finally be put to some use. :)
