Hot Deal: Egghead.com 32x64 256MB pc100 DIMM

[PhalphorAlyer]

I just spoke to an Egghead CSR about my order of 25 pieces (ordered Fedex and shipped). He said the item was misdescribed - they are 32meg sticks. Egghead apparently tried to catch the orders, but those that did have their orders shipped simply need to return their order if they don't want them. They will be contacting everyone else who order has not started processing to determine if they want to keep their order.

Egghead is SUCK.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

1. 25 pieces?! Dear lord. The words "rat bastard" come to mind.

2. This sounds fishy, to say the least. Any further dirt?

 

[neonitto]

WTF?!?

First its a misprice on 256MB sticks when they were updating the site, and now they say it was for 32MB sticks? Things are fishy when they cant keep their excuses straight...

 

[abracadabra1]

-:frown: how lovely that would have been...
*sigh* a gig of ram on my comp for less than the 128 stick of mushkin i have now...(chills)

 

[kyutip]

PhalphorAlyer,
you really ruin this for everybody,
what the hell are you gonna do with 25 stick ??
make a bbq ???
I hope they stick it up your ***

 

[Hossenfeffer]

Mmmmm.... SDRAM briquettes. Add a little mesquite and you're set for homecookin' goodness.

 

[subpar]

Oh man, if they pull this "oh sorry, we mistakenly marked them as 32 MB DIMMS" b.s. I'm gonna be pissed. I did next day air on this order...and the shipping costs were phenomenal. Which they won't refund.

Egghead/Onsale is suck!

subpar

 

[MontyBurns]

I don't buy the "they're 32 meg sticks" line. First of all, that would be an unusually good price even on 32 meg sticks from Egghead. (None of their other 32 meg memory is that cheap). Second, if it really is a 32 meg stick, and they really are trying to "catch" the orders, tehy should have no problem, since most of ours haven't shipped yet.

 

[narciarz]

Something is not right. I just searched this forum and did not find any posts by PhalphorAlyer, looks like first post and there is no profile on this person!? I wonder if this is someone from Egghead!?

 

[markjrubin]

I'll bet he's just a regular member yanking our chain.

 

[Hossenfeffer]

If I wanted to tick off a bunch of deal-hunting addicts, I would:

1. Create a new profile
2. Post about how I ordered 25 sticks (satisfies "greedybastage" requirement)
3. Post about how my order(s) shipped next day (satisfies "rub-their-nose-in-it" requirement)
4. Post a blurb about the 256MB sticks -actually- being 32MB sticks (satisfies "Uh-UH! But... I mean.." requirement)

If it's the real deal, swell, I'm still miffed and overcaffeinated.

If it's fake, swell, I'm still miffed and overcaffeinated.


If he got shipping confirmation, why would he call an Egghead CSR?

 

[subpar]

Now that I think of it, Hossenfeffer, you are absolutely correct

subpar

 

[mcdull]

buy.com has the 256MB memory of the same mfr part# 101607, so the desc in egghead is definitely correct.

 

[Redman7]

LMAO
I agree with you subpar and Hossenfeffer
and
I've also been checking every 10min... lol

DO NOT BELEIVE PhalphorAlyer FOR 1 SECOND

I am almost positive that he is an Egghead troll.

The same thing happened with the gap.com fiasco from last spring.

A few incredibly hot deals got shipped. Then all of a sudden the gap
employees started hitting this board pretending to be regular users.
They had scary stories about how they got email from the gap about
gap suing all the anandtech users unless the users refused shipment.

 

[Siamskunk]

Am I missing something!!
Can someone tell me where the hell did this guy post (what page?): PhalphorAlyer

never mind, I saw that freak'in greedy skunk.

 

[Braxus]

Well, just checked the UPS site... STILL NO TRACKING #!

Doesn't take THAT long for it to get posted does it?

 

[perry]

Siamskunk, top of page 7 for me. Second message. Sep/25/2000 8:04 PM is the date stamp at the top.

This is interesting:

Sep 25, 2000, 6:41 am PDT Order placed.
Sep 25, 2000, 6:42 am PDT MasterCard ending in 0000 charged $146.35.
Sep 25, 2000, 7:10 am PDT Order sent to our warehouse for processing and fulfillment.
Sep 24, 2000, 5:00 pm PDT Order receipt acknowledged by warehouse.

Looks like the warehouse acknowledged receipt of my order about 22 hours before it was sent to them. Guess that puts me in front!

[Redman7]

403Forbidden,

I'm trying to understand why they would do such a thing...
A scare tactic...

Do they really think were going to cancel our orders???

I mean no disrespect, just trying to understand what effect Egghead trolls would have.


"Oh gee, sorry to have ordered a product at an outstanding savings. I'll cancel my order because of your post."

 

[Siamskunk]

Thanks a lot Perry.
I'd bet there must be a lot more who did the same as him or.....maybe 100 sticks !!! yuckk

 

[Gunslinger]

if its not on there by tomorrow morning, then i'd start to wonder.
