It's like eBay, the shipping is what kills the deal.

Actually, it's a pretty good deal now if you're in the market for a 7900GTX.

Does that count as price gouging? I can see that the shipping price may be a tad high. But, the item price seems reasonable.

 

[Golgatha]

Actually, the item price is excellent. Shipping seems a little out there.

ouch might as well choose over night its like like $20 more.

What's with the soccer player doll? He seems too happy!

someone should actually place an order for one of these and then start a class action suit for inflated shipping costs.

I'd think about placing an order if I had an credit card with that kind of limit just for the heck of it. I'm sure they'd refund the shipping costs. On second thought, why risk utter financial ruin?

Sad part is that you can't get that great price in HI, AK, or PR

Edit--also have to wonder if they'll let us have 6 mos. free financing or if the shipping charges don't count towards that.

I was going to purchase one of these until I saw the overly inflated
shipping charge. $99,999.00 Three Day Shipping (Not available in HI, AK and
PR), a bit out of my league. way to lose a sale. lol

lol, class action implies that somewhere in the ballpark of 50 or so would do it

Agreed! The least NE should have done was give you a free shipping. Cheap little bastards...
