The fans were NOT on sale. They went up in price THEN on "sale". This is pretty astonishing that only a few people agree with my disappointment.
Bait and switch, seedy marketing, raw deal. Whatever. You don't have to take my vocabulary verbatim. I just wanted to bring this up to the community, who are all computer enthusiasts like myself, to be careful the next time you think newegg is giving you a great coupon code. |

Damn thats harsh. I'm sorry the big bad company practiced something perfectly legal and you are going to pay the same price you were willing to before. It must be hard to be you.

so let me get this straight......... the fans were as an example ; $9.00 Sunday night on sale... Newegg went out of stock and raised the price 15% to $10.35... then gave a 15% coupon making the price $9.00......... I fail to see a problem?

...are you serious?
they gave you a coupon for 15% off ALL fans, it's not even as if they gave you 15% off just that fan and raised the price. even that isn't anything, it happens all the time, you did this on a sunday you know the end of the week when everything changes you didn't catch them with anything Also I checked you said they raised the price of ALL fans as if it made a difference, they didn't a fan I bought last week is the same price Last edited by washd123; May 16, 2012 at 05:13 AM. |

Well if you didn't start the thread with some bullshit title and come off sounding like you were entitled to, and it was your birth-given right to be handed, great deals on purchases, I'd be less of an asshole. You were in the middle of checking out and you passed out, but when you woke up and decided to check out but noticed that the price was THE SAME YOU WERE GOING TO PAY ANYWAY with the exception of having to enter a coupon, you get pissy? I'm sorry, it's obvious I'm the asshole. I'll be on my way now.

There is no reason to continue on with this. I don't know the whole situation, so I can't speak on it with 100% authenticity. However, I do know that flaming someone over something like this is childish. Last time I checked there were no children here so stop acting like a bunch of children. Sorry for attempting to stop you all's fun, but this is ridiculous.

Its not uncommon. I have my entire Amazon list filled with items I watch then note the lowest price so I don't forget later and buy on a price hike. Egg is the same, prices go up and down a lot. I've seen them increase on sales too. Last items I bought at Egg were my Samsung RAM because they were the only place that seemed to have it at a decent price. Paid full price one week, then the next week they gave a 15% off all RAM, got the rest of it for discount. Little po'ed I lost $8-$10 on it but it was still a good price to begin with.
That is one area I notice they don't raise prices before sales. When they give broad coupon codes for all items under one heading. If they give codes for specific brands, then be cautious.

I guess having less...flexible prices have its perks.

Newegg is a business like any other. I'm sorry you felt like you got burned on a sale from them. I've been ordering parts from Newegg for a very long time and have always felt like I got everything I could ask for. Good pricing, fast shipping (most of the time) and excellent customer service.
They're not perfect by any means, but they're more than good enough to earn my repeat business. Almost exclusively.
