Every once in a while they do have good deals though.

I don't get it why people like zepper take the time to leave smartass remarks. Wouldn't it make more sense to just post nothing so the thread doesn't get bumped if you're so annoyed by it? I mean...it's just words on a screen, isn't it easier to just quickly see he's asking something silly that you don't want to answer and then go find something you do want to look at? It's not as though he's with you yelling in your ear or something, which probably would need a response. I'm not trying to come after you, I'm sure it would be nice if every thread was something interesting and intelligent, and I guess insulting the person does dissuade them from asking questions like this, so I see your perspective to some extent. But it's sorta like how if you put something in the wrong forum, 5 people are going to come say "wrong forum," your thread will go to the top, and your question will invariably get answered easier than if you put it in the right forum.

Of course, it occurs to me I just completely went against my own advice and did the exact same thing i said not to do........so uh.....yeah...um...I have to go to the bathroom... /runs away from computer

Zepper pointed out that fartonmyear could have answered his own question, using the well-known tools he listed.

For completeness he could have mentioned the need to also use ResellerRatings.com to check how reliable the vendors are, but while sarcastic it was not a pointless post.

 

[fartonmyear]

sorrrrrrrrrrry. i just didn't know if zipzoomfly or monarch or whatever else was reliable.

The vendors cjbruin09 listed are all reliable. The main difference from newegg is that Monarch and ZipZoomFly are not as reliable when they list an item as "in stock." It usually is, but not always and they won't tell you right away that your order has been delayed.

FYI, Advanced Search is a good tool to learn for these forums. Search doesn't work well, but the Advanced Search feature does. Try it using "monarch" or "zip zoom" and see what you get.
