Newegg branching out?

[Liet]

Since when did Newegg sell rifle scopes?

Hmmm, should I get a new i7 930, a Fermi nVidia card, or a Bushnell 4x32mm scope? Decisions decisions!

I was going to buy that Canon camera, but I really need a rifle scope to go with it, so that combo deal is perfect.

I was poll'd on their website the other day (this week) what areas I'd most like them to see added to their existing offerings. I didn't really care for any of the choices--but that wasn't an option so I closed the poll. I forget the choices, sporting goods, auto accessories, apparel, and I forget the other.

They filed for IPO, not surprised they are broadening their product lineup.

I, for one, welcome our new Newegg overlords. I can't wait for the day I can order some new racquetballs, more memory, a lens for my camera, a fan controller, and my groceries all from one online retailer and shipped to me via free 3-day UPS.

I can see this working for the guy who couldn't find out where to buy underwear.

So they are trying to turn themselves into amazon? Sounds like a recipe for fail to me.

 

[Liet]

Good point. We have an amazon... I don't need to turn to Newegg for all my sport hunting & processor needs!

They already have the neweggmall and newegg biz sites. Before long they will be anther amazon

Well, as for searching for specific computer parts, newegg is far superior to Amazon. On Amazon you better know exactly what you want and forget searching by specific detail.

Amazon? I get all that with free* UPS two day shipping with amazon.

*With an $80 Amazon prime membership.

Just hope they don't ship your scope the same way they ship hard drives.

In a box full of peanuts with the actual item wrapped in 3 layers of bubble wrap? *Looks at the HDD I ordered for a build today*

WTF. Last HDD I ordered came wrapped in an antistatic bag cushioned by about a 1 foot segment of the brown paper packaging material in a box that was about 14"x9"x8".

When was this? I've heard of people having issues with Newegg's hard drive shipping, but all of the ones I've ordered have been well packaged.

Wow, what a crappy scope.

General rule of thumb - glass should cost more than the rifle it is going on. Not always the case considering the cost of some rifles, but for the most part it is a good way of picking out glass.

Yup, if they could add their detailed searching to other areas that's a good thing.
