Speaking of New Egg

[CorCentral]

I posted a review there & it was a 50/50 review .

I boasted about a 6800 GT video card and also said something about New Eggs pricing jumping about $25. since they were last in................... and ...................My review is nowhere to be found.

Are you surprised?

Of course they're not gonna put the review up if you say something bad about them.

Do you know of any business that would do that?

I'm not trying to be an @$$ about it, because its not that cool that they filter out most of the negative reviews, but they are a business after all.

Newegg is guilty of price gouging lately.. They are steadily losing my business as that trend with them continues.

When did you post it?

Newegg reviews are fully moderated. In a day or two someone will go over it, XX out all the prices, bad language, and some other things, then it will be posted. You need to give it a couple days.

Price gouging? Do I hear the voice of someone who knows little about economic principles?

I posted the review like 3 weeks ago. I never said anything that bad about NewEgg, & the Video card itself I praised.
I stated that I was upset that they raised the prices right when they had replenished the stock of GT's, that's all.

I do most of my PC shopping at NewEgg but this just got to me.

Only suckers pay $400+ for a video card anyway...

Saying that they raised the price right when they replenished inventory is something they're probably not going to put under their reviews. Kinda makes them look bad. Seeing as it was 3 weeks ago, I wouldn't expect to see it posted as reviews usually take no more than 1 week to get posted in my experience.

considering that's how much the geforce 6800 gt is, there's little we can do about it.

Not really if you wait it out a little bit you can find a decent deal. I got my GT for 301 and many others did for that range too. I wouldn't have touched any of these cards for 400 and esspecially for more than that. 300 on the other hand doesn't seem to bad of a price.

Those preorders where indeed good deals, but at the time there was no way to know that at this point in time there simply wouldnt be any of the next gen cards readily available. I passed on the preorders cause if they were offering it for $300 then later on sale it would be at the same price or less a few months from then. The fact that Doom 3 shipped on time also threw a wrench in the works. As it is now, these cards may not even be available in quantity for HL2!!!! I doubt that there will be a time again when two titles like D3 and HL2 are released several months apart.

Didn't even know there were $300 preorders. How long do you think it'll be before they drop back down to that?
