Have fun putting that new rig together! :D

I just got an "in-stock" alert from zip zoomfly.com 2 hrs ago the E6600 was listed at $339.00 , it's now $399.00
I used to love this site for purchasing, but now they've gotten rid of the free 2nd day air and they are starting to get a habit for raising prices when items come back in stock as well.

already out of stock - could have been an inventory type error...Quote:

I just checked and Techdata at least shows us some ETA on the processors.
here they are:
Location Quantity On Order from Vendor ETA Date
SWEDESBORO, NJ 0 280 09/17/06
SUWANEE, GA 0 80 09/10/06
SOUTH BEND, IN 0 280 09/24/06
FT WORTH, TX 0 260 09/03/06
FONTANA, CA 0 360 08/27/06
Who over there at Zipzoom is screwing with us at 6:40pm PST
I ordered 6600 when it was in stock, probably will get screwed, but whatever.
6700 is still in stock.
my ZZF notification for E6600 came 5 mins ago
it's already sold out, of course :mad:
Somehow I think that was an inventory error, it could not have sold out that fast (Unless they only got 1 or 2 in)
Try this; EWIZ has retail E6300 for 203usd and 199usd for OEM.Quote:

Use standard UPS ground and you won't get hit with shipping fees to jack the price.
ZZF couldn't resist hopping on the gouge train. Figures.
I'm not paying more than $335 for a E6600, so whoever ends up listing it for that price will get my cash.
Your best bet is Ewiz. They have the best prices around and are the only ones not price gouging. I ordered a E6400BOX from them at 5PM today and it shipped today also. Should be here Thursday via 2 day. I'll wait until a better stepping (7,8?) comes around before I sell it. Of course I'll OC the hell out of this one on high-end water.
Buy.com is still at $339 and you can try and use the $15 off $200 coupon for new customers.Quote:

my only complaint with ewiz is no Amex, about to order an 805 from outpost while I wait a week or two and hope for Tankguys to get stock for the preorders
Thats what I did when I couldn't get a conroe on launch date. 3.8ghz on air using conroe parts :cool:Quote:

805 ordered
I received the "in stock" e-mail alert from ZZF as well (on the E6700). If they truly did re-stock, it's amazing that they sold out so quickly @ $690 apiece (and I thought $599 was alot :eek:). Unbelievable.

conceptxp where did you hear that from? Also any thing from them on the 6600's (now that the 805 is coming in I can wait a few days but the sooner my preorder ships the happier I will be)
Go to the Tankguys forum, all their updates are there. I believe Ben has said he has (3) distributors promising shipment beginning of next week.Quote:

Wow I thought 645 for a e6700 was bad and now I see them around 700:eek:
I'm glad I got mine for $600 shipped 2 weeks ago!
Yup, first 5 people in line will have the chips shipping out later this week, hopefully :) I'll update those people later tonight.Quote:

However, to go from say $339 to $399 is kind of crazy.
I mean, through techdata my companies cost is only $321 so I would imagine companies like zipzoomfly and newegg which order a lot of these and more than our company will get a better deal. That's a pretty good profit on a CPU as tech margins aren't usually very great anyway.
Low supply + high demand = High prices :DQuote:

Many people assume that newegg, for example, is just always the best price. So they see that price, figure it must be good, and buy.
I'm sure when supply gets closer to demand, we'll see prices become more reasonable across the board. For now though, companies that can make money are, and I can't say that I entirely blame them. Tech margins are horrible, so any chance to actually make decent money is hard to pass up.
I'd buy an OEM E6600 for like $380 if I could :(
just a lil FYI.
Cost of an E6600 from a multi million dollar company (CompUSA) is 323.16 for an e6600
cost from Ingram Micro is 321.xx so i cant fathom why Newegg is getting away with this.
TankGuys,
Can you give us any better info, like for instance is there already 5 people waiting or should i click on the buy now like im tempted to do.
Haven't you ever heard of car dealers adding "additional dealer profit" to exclusive new models when they first come out. (like when the GTO or PT Cruiser was first introduced).Quote:

Other vendors have chosen to price at more realistic levels. They're sacrificing potential profits but probably counting on getting future repeat business and winning new customers.
If you don't like Screwegg's tactics then don't buy from them in the future. If another reseller offers a better deal then add them to your shopping list for future purchases.
Any company that has an oppertunity to make a little $$ is going to do so. I've not seen anyone complaining about Dell yet. Yet go to thier website and configure a core2 system. I did this last week and kept coming up with around $2000 for a e6300 system. Mind you thats the lowest base cost core2 system too.
This is a supply/demand problem. Almost anything anyone sells in this situation will be priced high. B&M stores put crap prices on almost everything yet nobody complains about it. I couldn't tell you how many $20 or so products cost about $0.25 to make.

Oh yea, they are ALL sold. I've got 5 coming in, and a LOT more backorders than that, so no, I don't have any available :(Quote:

This mess will all be over with before you know it. I know I'm having trouble keeping focus myself. I've looked for alternatives the last week or so. Buy another on credit and sell the slower clocked on on ebay, etc. But really in the big picture 1-2 weeks really is not that much time. Its already been about 3 weeks since I ordered anyway.Quote:

I don't see why you are singling out Newegg. I just froogled the E6400 and E6600. Everyone who has them in stock is charging about $300 for the 6400, and $400 for the 6600. Froogle will quote $250 for a 6400, you go to the website and it is really $300. ZZF shows 6600's for $339 until they get them in stock, and they go to $399.Quote:

I highly doubt they changed the price because of complaints. I bet they were selling very little at that price.Quote:

quit trolling, or get a new avatar, I read the last 5 pages of this thread and i see that friggen thing over 20 times.
Actually I sent a hate email to them and link to 4 different forums about the newegg gouging. I believe they have represenatives at some of those sites also. They might not see it here but I know they didnt change it for no reason.Quote:

no, i have mine pre-ordered, but it would be nice to get them sooner than "sometime next week"

Your Newegg.com sales order has been successfully charged to your credit/debit
card and order verification is now complete.
Amount: $1177.33

Sorry for selling out to big evil guys, but I couldn't take it any longer.
You have just proved my point for me. Why do you do $10k of business with a company that you seem to think screws its customers? It must be because they offer an impressive variety of competitively priced products and are reliable about processing and shipping orders.Quote:

If they sell a few overpriced processors to people willing to pay the premium, power to them. That increases the chance they will be in business in the future, so I can continue to order from them.
My guess is that if Newegg execs read this board, they would charge MORE for their Conroes. They would see posts from people angry about their prices, but they would also see posts from people willing to buy a Pentium, or a Gigabyte Motherboard as a placeholder until what they really want comes out. That kind of person doesn't really mind paying a premium for the newest thing.
If I buy something at Newegg and overpay, that is MY fault for not doing my research, or being too anxious to obtain that holy grail of all processors. Newegg's pricing does not anger me. ClubIT's bait and switch does. Even though I could have gotten an E6600 OEM for $329 delivered, I refused, because they were dishonest, and wouldn't answer my calls and e-mails for over 24 hours. I have done a lot of business with Newegg, probably $5-6k over the last 2 years, and Newegg has never misrepresented an item's "In Stock" status, and has always answered the phone. The one time I RMA'd an item, because something better was released the week I ordered it, I had no problem.
As to the assertion that Newegg alone is responsible for the price of Conroes, I call bull:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: . Correlation does not imply causation. Next I suppose we'll hear that a Newegg rep was seen on the grassy knoll at JFK's assassination, or that the moon landings were actually videotaped in Newegg's warehouse. The reason for the price of Conroes is economics 101...supply and demand. Lots of geeks with more money than sense want them, and there aren't very many available. I notice that nobody has had any problem selling their Conroes out.
You b:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: about Newegg, yet you admit you do $10k business a year with them. Actions speak louder than words.

I apologize for mischaracterizing your accusation that Newegg was responsible for the inflated price of Conroes as actual dislike for Newegg. Though I quoted your post, I was responding to the general Newegg-bashing that is occuring, and my post was not directed at you in particular.Quote:

I took it. It's about the same as I paid for my 930 a little while back. (and 820even longer ago)Quote:

well, i just recieved the OEM E6600 from clubit and they more than made up for there incompetence!
they sent me the full version of GRAW with cd key and all and a 10pk of DVD-R's...very cool :)
ohh yea, core 2 dup tshirt as well...
Just ordered OEM e6600 from clubit. My first purchase with them...Hope it goes well..
I've seen plenty of gaming benches with the entire spectrum E6300-X6800 stock and overclocked. I am glad we are still in the early Conroe frenzy because my E6700 is being sold for a profit and I am switching to an E6400 to ride to Kentsfield.
You fellows spend your dime as you please.
Just posting to say my OEM E6600 just shipped from MicroCenter! Yay!
Looks like Steve was on the ball yesterday and today ;)
I ordered from clubit, cancelled my order from tiger, hopefully they ship quick, and nothing goes wrong and I regret this
Since this thread is going in 20 different directions, How is GRAW?Quote:

Just placed my first order with CLUBIT.com
Better be worth it!
Whats a good mobo that supports the conroe and the 7950gx2 besides the p5w dh deluxe?
you need at least bios 701 for it to support conroe, and the 7950 Is supportedQuote:

Ordered my 6700 last Friday at around 5ish EST. Item shipped that day.Quote:

I know most people are looking for 6600's but I just ordered a 6400 retail box from Xtremegear for $245 shipped. Not too bad....
E6400 Retail Box at Xgear
Got my shipping notice from Microcenter as well, says it should be here tomorrow by 3pm, so far fedex site just says "Data transmitted to fedex" but once I see it in route i'll be a very very happy guy :P
Cancelled my Outpost order and ordered from ClubIT.
They were down to 80something chips left.
I would have rather had a retail chip, but I'm sick of waiting. The rest of my computer parts are gathering dust. That and since I'm planning on overclocking I doubt the 3 year warranty was going to make a difference (and I've already bought a new cooler for it).
Thanks for the heads up.

Called ClubIT.com my E6600 will be shipping today! Weeeeee
