[mxps]

Q6600 now at $345. Newegg how could you.

 

[chriskurn]

I spend big $$ at Newegg (work & personal) for years. Recently they have been playing games with pricing. Up and down. This isn't the stock market.

 

[swtethan]

thats a huge price jump!

 

[jonnio]

I am with you Chris - I can't stand when companies pull crap like that. I am now pricing my new machine from head to toe at competitor's sites.

They are smart ... demand is healthy enough that they keep selling at any price, so they would be stupid to not raise the price.

Lower prices shall come to those who wait, in this case. It could be that some G0s come as well

 

[chriskurn]

How can this be smart when the competition has them in stock for $279?

If people buy it from them at that price, it's quite smart. Don't worry.. if sales drop, so too will the price.

I wonder if Newegg has some kind of auto-price adjustment that moves price up and down with demand ??

 

[LiquidFlame]

I wouldn't doubt it

They're sold out now, so I'd say Newegg can just about get away with whatever they want here, I'm sure they're still selling Q6600's at $320.

They must have some type of auto price adjustment. Just think how many hits the proc page must be getting today.

The price game they played today was crap. It wasn't auto adjusting. Some big whig decided to have fun with the price, a one day power trip. Shame on you newegg. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

$295.00 with Free Shipping at ZZF

 

[Atif]

Frys.com - $299 With Free Shipping

Peace

 

[deerhunter716]

Chriskurn - Where did you get the GO stepping from?

 

[chriskurn]

clubit.com Q6600 G0 - $286 Free Shipping

They new exactly what I was talking about when I said G0 stepping

 

[Diogenes2]

$375 at Newegg as I type..

Crazy !!

It would really be interesting to know from an insider what their strategy is ,,,

 

[zsdersw]

Are you sure they weren't just telling you what you want to hear? The listing for the Q6600 on their site clearly says B3 for the stepping.

Be sure to check when you get it before opening it.

Newegg up to 375$. I went into microcenter to pricematch newegg @ 299$ and it was up to 375$. Guess I will have to wait. It was a 45 minute ride, sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Newegg sucks!!!!!

 

[strangelife81]

uhh so u called clubit(lol)

and they said they had G0 in stock? i find it a little hard to beilive...but ill give them a call tommrow, if they arent already sold out.

btw newegg has q6600 @ 375$

newegg has gone down hill the past year imo, they price jack way to much and ship slower then they used 2

 

[zsdersw]

A conversation over the phone with "somebody" indicating that they have (and shipped you) a G0 is nothing to go on if what they sent you was actually a B3.

 

[ViRGE]

Someone should really start a betting pool on all of these price adjustments. All of the OOSs, restocks, and reprices are getting to be hilarious. Who wants to take $399 at Newegg by noon tomorrow?

Newegg's system is completely automatic. It raises the price as demand increases. That's why you can typically find their items cheaper elsewhere.....if they are in stock. The issue is when they are the only ones with stock, which happens frequently, sales go up and so does the price.
