SystemViper · Oct 12, 2008

but if you have 500 people hitting the reseller ratings NEGATIVE for tiger direct/amazon not living up to their price, that could change the equation...

So is this price really 120 or is it a mistake?

SystemViper · Oct 12, 2008

DONE again

i bet somebody took the whole boat, with room on their card...

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 12, 2008

Ive got a bit over 230 in my checking and if I can get this for 120 without me getting fucked over I will get it and sell my 9800GTX.

What should I do?

If you use a credit card, you are protected if they don't honor the price (and for some reason don't refund).

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 12, 2008

Price just jumped to over 300

Let's do this if they screw us.

I never purchase anything from TigerDirect before, I don't like their listing, really confusing, and not enough info.

NewEgg really catched my attention with my first purchase, they refunded the shipping fee when my LCD arrived late.

Like most people, I LOVE the egg. I've ordered a few things from TigerDirect and never had a problem... first thing was the Koolance system I'm on now - it was $100 (and retail at the time was $300+!) Seemed too good to be true, but arrived promptly, no issues.

People bash TigerDirect all the time, but no one ever seems to be able to back it up.

Xazax · Oct 12, 2008

I dont like tigerdirect simply because of there prices, which are almost always higher.. or same price as newegg, plus shipping is like 7-10 bucks and only 7 day shipping compared to egg, where you can find same or better prices, better website, + always 3 day shipping(2 days for me since i live near there CA center

)

BrooksyX · Oct 12, 2008

Have never shopped at Tiger Direct, not because I have anything against them, because I have always had a great experience with shopping at newegg. I have only had a few problems with items I have ordered there and the few problems I had they were very quick to fix.

Awesome price, good items, and great customer service. The only thing that would make them any better is if they gave stuff out for free.

CStylen · Oct 12, 2008

Funny how even since the price is back up, the technical details are still wrong. So your paying over $300 for an EVGA 680i??? :laugh:

Fitseries3 · Oct 12, 2008

i honestly think something is up with this deal.

its too bad that after i counted over 900 of these bought on 5 different forums that it may turn out to be a total flop.

The price didn't go back up.
There were 2 sellers.
1 from TigerDirect with the "TOO HOT" deal, and another one is from Amazon itself, which is always at the right price.

Thanks for clearing that up...I hope the "wrong price" I paid gets my core 216 gtx 260 SC here on Thursday.

WC Annihilus · Oct 12, 2008

Called 1-888-999-3600, the contact # for tigerdirect as claimed on the amazon order page, to confirm my orders that state the 896-P3-1267-AR and they stated that the 680i was being shipped for those orders.

I guess we will see what happens.

Megasty · Oct 12, 2008

I'm done with these bait & switch bs scenarios. I already have 2 of those MBs & I'm only using one of them. However, I'm looking forward to see the giant collection of negatives that hit that site on Monday.

Why would we get 680i's? It clearly states that I purchased a GTX260 on my reciept. I could care less what is on the website now.
