NewEgg price politics?

[paulney]

I was thinking about buying Epson printer, so I checked out prices on NewEgg about a week ago. It was around $82 and shipping $3.75. I got distractged with other business, but now that the cartridge in my current oldie has finally run out, I logged in again to make a purchase.

But now the price is $85.75 and shipping $7.74. WTF? Supposedly they are almost out of the printers, waiting for a new shipping, so they jack up the price. But why would shipping change?

So they make more money.

Coming from different warehouse?

 

[paulney]

Oh well. Signed up for a price alert.

Because newegg plays games like that with shipping price. You're supposed to be stupid and not notice.

agreed....but if I can buy from the Egg for a couple bucks more I always do. Newegg has always taken care of me and the ocuple bucks I save usually isnt worth the risk of a bad experience.

its a thing call supply and demand

and i believe items are usually lil bit higher priced on friday

You could probably find a coupon for that printer and buy it locally for less than NewEgg!

Whoa! Hats off to Ornery! Thanks a lot!
