Newegg in Europe

The worlds famous online computer hardware and software retailer Newegg plans to to start European operation. As you know Newegg has warehouses in California, Tennessee and New Jersey, and it operates only in USA, till now. The biggest problem is that such a move will put a lot of people out of business in Europe especially the smaller players. Newegg buys incredible volumes and gets great prices. This story is confirmed by very high ranked officers of the egg company, but the final decision is yet to be made.

\o/ Welcome and hopefully soon. I've been using newegg a long time for product pictures/information/user reviews. Granted that USA don't have the same or all produtcs that are on market here and vice versa, but Europe doesn't have similar cheap store. Pixmania tries hard, but computer stuff is over priced there (other stuff is great, got my dvd/xvid-player there).

yea ur right, although UK isnt the nicest place in the EU to live, i rarther live in spain or portugal, but UK is best when it comes to technolgy in the EU

but FINALY we might get US prices, i hate the fact that the US pays like half the price of us UK'ers

it will be a goot battle between the biggest uk retailer ebuyer(not best) and newegg

Newegg VS Ebuyer

watch out ebuyer and OCUK

lol PT im guesing ur from portugal, i went der on holiday to alberfera, dont know how to spell it and it was soooooo good, didnt want to come back

but bring on newegg, we need u

a friend of mine was saying that in the US they get paid more than the UK, for example to compare the exact same job, say if u worked at the till/cashier in mcdonals in the US and the UK, the guy in the US gets a higher wage/salary, plus their computer parts are cheaper over there and cost of living is cheaper over there, u would have soo much money to spend on computers unlike us people in the UK

whats the minimum wage over there in the US, here its like £4.30 which is like $8.41 USD, and thats what you would probably get working in mcdonals in the UK, anyone from the US know how much u get from working in mcdonalds, only using mcdonals coz its something thats both in US and UK

We have ebuyer.com - the prices aren't as good as Newegg but that isn't their fault, it's the extra taxes and manufacturers not being as willing to supply. I'd be impressed if Newegg EU can make much impact on prices, but it would make a cheap alternative to ebuyer, they package hard drives awfully.

Cant say i particularly remember OCUK being cheap.

Oh and $8.41 is about £4.25 at the moment given the current exchange rate. Granted it wasnt always like that. Pricing is pretty sad in the UK though. I imported a Slim Squeezebox from the states, incurred the FedEX charges and it was still cheaper than over here.

Surely Newegg will come over and plunk themselves at the cheaper side of current pricing and wont start any kind of price war?

Overclockers.co.uk has really gone down the pan recently, not stocking half of what they used too. Unfortunately we wont get better prices as the rule in business is to charge what people will pay, not what it's worth, and seen as were already paying these prices they may as well continue.

UK Prices suck big time for the most part.

That aside don't expect newegg to do miracles, its just like someone said, prices will not be tha same although some products may cost even less than in the USA. So let's wait and see people.
