Newegg in Europe

[Frogger]

Awesome news for you guys overseas... But what about in Canada!?

That would be easier to establish, and we get price gouged almost as bad as you guys, suprisingly...

heard same story about the Great White North last year never did see an egg

 

[magibeg]

Yea what about poor canada (i guess tigerdirect and ncix are the best we have for now)

 

[WarEagleAU]

Congrats UKers, you are getting the best online store period. (there are some great other ones, but newegg rocks.) Im sorry about the smaller companies though...

\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).

You know Europe is bigger than just the UK right?

Yeah, but the UK is surely the only part worth mentioning

j/k

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

yea ur right, although UK isnt the nicest place in the EU to live, i rather live in portugal

i hope they don't get uk normal prices

 

[vivalv1000]

Egg on!!!

Hey why not expand to Europe? They don't have a problem with eBay over there, why should this be any different? This is the future, let's except it!!!

 

[RickyG512]

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

thats for 18 year old 21+ is £5.35 iirc

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

How did you people live without Newegg.com

 

[Jimmy 2004]

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.

personally i prefer savastore.com and overclockers.co.uk to ebuyer

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.

[Steevo]

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

 

[HellasVagabond]

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.
