I've been keeping a real close eye on Intel CPU prices for the last week. Approx. last Thursday a number of the big name resellers reduced price in anticipation of the Intel price drop but quoted a ship date of 10/27.
Their scheme was to reduce price only part way down to new Intel price levels in hopes of using the reduction as a means of getting some quick business but then get full Intel price protection for their inventory on hand as of 10/26. It was a nice way to gain some additional profit margin $'s during the price drop period.
It appears that Newegg was one reseller that did not use this scheme. Today's Newegg price drop represents the full effect of the Intel price reduction to their customers. Looking at Pricewatch, some of the other resellers have egg on their face. (no pun intended).
I'm in no way associated with Newegg, but these guys are really a class act!!!
Mods, go ahead and flame me and lock this thread since is OT. I just had to point this out.
