bit_user I've always done alright with Newegg, but I've noticed it's become a lot harder to find more niche parts on there. When you do, they're often from marketplace sellers and those are often located in China, which can be an issue due to shipping times and now also tariffs. Over the past year, I've been buying a lot more from my retail Microcenter store, with online purchases going almost exclusively to Amazon. Ebay for a handful of OEM or new-pull items (old video cards, small SSDs). I really do appreciate how Newegg keeps my entire order history and the full, original product listings, in case I ever want to look up details of an old part. I've taken advantage of that to look up the dimensions of a case I bought more than 10 years ago, since the manufacturer had long since purged it from their website. I hope they remain a fixture in the PC community, at least for as long as they can continue to provide good service. With so many online sellers dropping out, over the years, it'd be a shame if we're only left with Amazon. Reply
Jabberwocky79 Agreed. I don't know how many times I've looked up my specs on old parts using the History feature. Of course, you can do that on Amazon as well to a certain extent, it's just a lot harder to find because the list is so polluted with every single other type of purchase. On my last build, I'd say it was a 50/50 split between Newegg and Amazon. I also bought some niche cooling parts from Titan Rig that I haven't even installed yet. Newegg definitely sucked when it came to water cooling stuff. Anyhow, I'm still air-cooled as I was waiting on waterblocks to be made for my 9070XT… that's no longer an issue, but money certainly is LOL. Reply
cyrusfox Been awhile since I have bought from newegg, B&H has been getting more of my orders. Amazon has been hit or miss, thankfully their return policy has fixed those issues (bought new mobo that had heatsinks removed/missing thermal pads as well as a different mobo where only half the dram slots worked). I am now firmly in the used/second hand market for most items. Local is the best I can get(best buy in a pinch). Nearest microcenter being 6 hours away, never buying more than peripherals while there though. I miss neweggs shell shocker deals,bought a lot of extra items 15+ years ago I wouldn't of, back when the shellshocker came in an email and it was 3 items at a great value that would sell out quickly. Newegg has lost its magic, no longer special and resembles the other online retailers. Reply
SomeoneElse23 My last new build – July of last year before price spikes hit – came entirely from Amazon. The prices were the same or better on Amazon for every single component. Plus if you have an Amazon credit card, and a prime member, you get 5-6% back. Not to mention always "free shipping". That said, I've had bad experiences with third party sellers on both sites. Right now I use NewEgg only to find details and specifics on components that I can't easily find on Amazon. I wish NewEgg hadn't sold out. I think my account is one of the oldest there, and NewEgg isn't like it used to be. Reply
bit_user cyrusfox said: B&H has been getting more of my orders. They're also a solid choice. I got good deals on a case and most recently a 2.5 Gbps switch, from them. Another one that's worth checking is Provantage. They sometimes have enterprise, server, OEM, and workstation parts that are difficult to find from other authorized sellers. I've gotten ECC memory from them, as well as datacenter SSDs at decent prices and with full warranty. Their prices also tend to move out-of-sync with other big online e-tailers. It's not unusual to see them at a higher price point, but sometimes they can surprise you by undercutting the others. Reply
TechieTwo From what I have observed in recent years, investors who bet the farm on a stock, immediately like to sue when the stock price drops, even when lawsuits are suppose to only be possible for substantial fraud. In the U.S. however anyone can sue for anything and collect a lot of money from technically ignorant juries or judges. Every stock perspective has a boilerplate disclaimer that past performance does not guarantee future perforamnce. Reply
