We all know that ChiefValue is owned by the same company that owns Newegg. Newegg and CV will deny it if you ask them directly, but I now have the undeniable proof here.

UPDATE: appearantly Newegg visits this forum too because they made my link unavailable, so I will describe it to you. It was a page that had the game Nemesis available for purchase from Chiefvalue.com There was a thumbnail where a pic of the box should have been, but instead there was a newegg logo there! LMFAO, I don't know why they don't just admit it now, especially after they got OWNED!

UPDATE 2 : Here is another link, just like the 1st one, that shopws the newegg logo on chiefvalue.com. LMFAO

UPDATE 3: They just made the 2nd link unavailable. Maybe I should charge them for finding this crap for them. It is obvious Newegg and ChiefValue are one in the same and you can find the same stuff I did, but I refuse to point them out so they can keep disabling them.

I'm not sure why this is such a big deal, but the first time I ordered something from Chiefvalue, the email receipt came from the newegg.com mail server.

:confused: as well...

Would've been cool if Chiefvalue was based in different states other than NJ, CA, TN which Newegg already covers.

LMAO. Nice


I kinda suspected a while back when I put myself on a notify for a product to come back into stock at both stores, and I got the notifies within 15 minutes of each other. That the the price difference was a penny.

Serisously? It's done all the time. Increase market share w/o increasing a single brand. At a point a brand will likely peak it's market share and one way to get more is introduce a competitor. Who cares if they lose a sale between them, it all goes to the same bottom line. The fact it's a virtual store is even better, less overhead on the clone site.

Just look at the auto market and all their spin-off companies.
