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.

j/k
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
:D :D :D :D :D :p :p :p :p
i hope they don't get uk normal prices
Hey why not expand to Europe? They don't have a problem with eBay over there, why should this be any different? :wtf: This is the future, let's except it!!! :toast: :cool: :slap:
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
i've been there too, it's a pretty good place
cept the poor canucks... poor guys
woohoot!
:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: burrp:D
cant see them being any cheaper than most "good value" online retailers here anyway overclockers, ebuyer etc but if they are then im all for it
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?

A bump from the past, read the dates and try again.;)
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.
