Ive seen mistakes on their site, normally fixed pretty quickly though.

Newegg had an Evga 6800 for $169 shipped AR the other day for like an hour, which was a mistake I believe. Wish I had gotten in on that.

I'm a bit more cynical about these so called "price mistakes". It feels to me more like a stunt to me to get some buzz and get more traffic to their store. The internet version of bait and switch.

I picked one up from newegg two weeks ago for $186. However, I bought the only one. The 2.0 ram on this card is so under utilized at 700mhz.

the msrp is $199 so this is not blowing smoke up anyone since it's only 5% below msrp.

MSRP is $200 for the 128MB version of the X800. This is (was) the 256MB version, and it used GDDR3 (which means potentially higher OC--you normally use just DDR for 700MHz effective). So, the other kind of smoking.
