Yes, but not to Karl Marx.

Too bad he's dead, I guess that's what happens to those who dislike capitalism.

...

I assume your great great grandfather is dead, no? Was he not capitalist or something??

They're being sold at market value. If you disagree with that decision, you're a moron.

Um, it's an observation of reality so there's nothing to disagree with. But what some are really saying is, 'damn, it's more expensive than I wanted'

Like I said in the other thread, DO NOT WAIT for the best price you've been dreaming of. If something is within +50~70 of your original budget, just grab it and forget about the money you paid. I think that's a wise way to deal this situation than clicking on your browser every 30 mins looking for the price you've been thinking of. Also E6400 is a wonderful deal since I'm seeing more and more people not reaching 3.6GHz with retail E6600s. There is a great chance to hit 3.2GHz+ with an E6400 and you're not losing a lot. Stop wasting time and even more money since the prices are not gonna settle in near future.

which is exactly why price gouging works..

Of course it is. The thing is, I'm talking here @AT. If someone here doesn't do it, somebody else will do it. I'm giving advice to people who's not only been waiting but also have bunch of new parts ready but the CPU. Microeconomics and Macroeconomics are different.

Everything is more expensive then I want it.

There's nothing wrong with complaining about the price of a product. That's part of the free market process; buyers deciding what price they are willing to pay. The one's acting like fools are those complaining about this, IMO.

You're quite correct, my friend. If everyone who had been planning to buy a C2D instead bought an AM2, Intel would tell the people that have been raping you guys who're buying the C2D's that it will be monitoring the price they're selling them at, and anyone who goes over MSRP, by even a dollar, won't ever get any more. But, since that isn't happening, and they're flying off the shelves at any price they ask, how about everyone STFU about the C2D prices?:laugh:

What's another $500 on the credit card when you've already got $20,000-$30,000 of debt?

When you're broke and headed to the boneyard, might as well live it up.

Yeah, I see your point, but my point was that if you're going to spend $500 on a Conroe, you should have an E6700 in your system, and not an E6400.
