I do not mean to bash NewEgg or stop people from shopping there, but there are some things shoppers should know about NewEgg.

The Intel Core 2 Duo cpu is in very high demand right now, and NewEgg received a shipment on 8/14. They had the ETA on the page for the item and the time was accurate to within 10 minutes. Very nice. But the several people that were lucky enough to order one paid a premium for that ETA.
NewEgg was selling the E6600 for $459, $60 more then ZZF or TD.
I did not care though because both ZZF and TD had burned me over the last week over this item and I really wanted to get the machine I am building complete.

The part that drives me #$%#%#% is that NewEgg DROPPED the price down to $360 as soon as they were out of stock.
I understand supply and demand, and I expect them to raise the price again when they get another shipment, but I can not help but feel they are telling customers to go #$#%# themselves.
