Good thing it's a senior member posting this!! LOL

Don't know if anyone has checked the xp2500+ barton retail cpu lately, but seems they have the lowest price right now on pricewatch:
xp2500+

If anyone's looking for one of those, might be worth picking up along with a couple penny each items.

Shipping kills it - 11.00 bucks to ship 2 ide round cables?

C'mon

Jack:evil:

ROFLMAO, 25.00 shipping for 6 screws, 1 round cable, and 1 mouse. I need to get in to the shipping business

 

[dchakrab]

Shipping's 20 bucks for those three items, 3 day select...wonder if the other shipping options are cheaper?

Time to find something to add to the card, i think.

-D.

This place sux. It's as bad as tiger direct. I hope they are reading this post, as they sometimes do.

Guess what guys? charging a penny for an item but then charging HUGE shipping costs is lame. No one is fooled. Everyone here knows it doesn't cost anywhere NEAR that much to ship this items.

Definitely sounds like some of the stuff that are sold on eBay.

 

[TTM77]

Sorry you all, didn't think the shipping could be so "XXXXtreme"ly expensive.

 

[Pothead]

It's not the shipping, it's the company.

 

[pigseye2]

I think we've heard enough about extremegear recently to avoid them on deals like this.

 

[dchakrab]

Tried adding a "real" item to see if this was just to keep people from ordering thousands of 1 cent items, but no go. Adding a wireless card jumped shipping from 20 to 25 or so. Fedex ground is 22 for those three, 2-day is 40.

Definitely a company to avoid.

-d.

 

[PCPETE]

lol shipping def kills it. Once I added all 1 cent things from Xtremepc and teh shipping was 60$+

 

[TXMatt]

When will asshat etail vendors stop trying to give consumers penis shipping rates?? "You can have item X for only $0.01, but you have to bend over!"

 

[cheetoden]

Gee, if they'd only pony up some cash for advertising here and then they could have some spam threads stickied up top like Newegg.

 

[marvdmartian]

Seems like the outrageous shipping is limited to their $.01 items.

AMD XP2500+ Barton core cpu, retail box $84 + $5.75 shipping (fedex ground) = $89.75

Add 2 of their $.01 ide cables, and two sets of $.01 case thumb screws, and shipping jumps to over $26!!! :disgust:

Oh, yeah.........those 4 ounce cables and 2 ounce thumb screws really can jack the shipping rates up!! ROFLMAO at the bozos at buyxtremegear with xtremeshipping!!!

 

[Kwad Guy]

I think the real bozos are people who see that bundle for a penny and actually think that it might be a good deal. Double bozo points to anyone who POSTS that deal without actually looking at the shipping, or else posts the deal after looking at the shipping, except to drip sarcasm all over it.

I mean, come on. What, exactly, did you expect. I saw this post when it first appeared and didn't even bother looking. It was so obvious that this was a waste of time. (Other possibility: price mistake...also a waste of time).
