My friend just got hired as a Purchaser for Newegg and he said his under constant pressure to buy everything at rock bottom prices. He also said they signed a special contract with Fedex for execellent freight rates. I am hoping he could buy me some stuff at cost, but I'll have to wait coz he is still new.

I always thought newegg was a branch from egghead. Makes me think that amazon has something to do with newegg selling irons and toasters now.

Newegg has a leigon of criminals working for them. Every morning all the criminals turn in their "finds" to newegg, in turn newegg gives cash to the criminals for the goods.. Sometimes it's a brand new cpu, sometimes it's a referbished t-shirt (no manuel, sorry).

j/k... of course.

They make up for it with shipping costs....

:)

Well, a little bit anyway. I would imagine that even though they have small profit margins, they do a huge amount of business.

Or maybe it's all blackmarket...
