I noticed not too long ago, that Newegg on ebay had the 2400G for $139.99. That was the only (sort-of) deal that I saw.
But it's not unusual. Good thing to check ebay from time to time, if purchasing a big-ticket component from Newegg or BestBuy (like WD external HDD). I picked up a pair of 10TB WD EasyStore drives for $179.99 ea. plus tax, from BestBuy on ebay.
Edit: Microcenter had the R5 1600 CPU for $99.99 in-store. Rumor has it that there will be a 6C/12T 3000-series Ryzen CPU with the same specs, more or less (more turbo?) for $99.99 MSRP.
I just love opening Task Manager on Windows 7 64-bit on my other rig, and seeing TWELVE CPU graphs. Looks kind of like some sort of high-core count mutant rig like most of Mark's.
