Best online site for price comparison?

Check Zip Zoom Fly.

They do not list NEC 3540. Their price for Verbatim 16x DVD +/-R discs
in 100 qty is way too high.

My only complaint about New Egg is that they now
ship via UPS, in my area Fedex is better, but in your it may be
different.

Directron is only a few miles from my house, so I go there in person.

OK, I picked the NEC 3540. Pricegrabber did not report the prices
accurately. For example, the price depends on the color, so let's pick
the beige unit.

Newegg: No beige unit available.

Directron: Beige NEC ND-3520A 16x DVD Double Layer Burner, DVD+/-RW,
OEM Regular price: $42.99 On Sale: $39.99

My point is you are better off looking the prices up directly on the
suppliers' websites.

THERE ARE MANY REASONS THAT WHAT YOU SAY IS NONSENSE. I WILL POST ONE
OF THEM. I BOUGHT SPEAKERS LAST YEAR. I WENT TO THE SUPPLIERS WEBSITE
AND SAW THE POSTED PRICE. I THEN WENT TO PRICEGRABBER AND LINKED FROM
PRICEGRABBER TO THE SAME SUPPLIERS WEBSITE AND GOT A LOWER PRICE. I
CALLED THE SUPPLIER TO FIND OUT WHY THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. THEY TOLD ME
THAT WHEN USING PRICE COMPARISONS SITES THEY WILL HAVE SPECIAL PRICES
FOR THE COMPARISONS SITES CUSTOMERS. THEY SAID THIS IS COMMON IN THE
INDUSTRY.

SO ALWAYS CHECK A NUMBER OF PRICE COMPARISON SITES. YOU MAY FIND
DIFFERENT PRICES FROM THE SAME VENDOR ON DIFFERENT SITES.

NO NO

I TYPE IN UPPERCASE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MY KEYBOARD DOES BUT WHEN I
PRINT OUT WHAT I TYPE IT COMES OUT IN LOWERCASE. THAT IS BECAUSE THE
PRINTER SOFTWARE RECOGNIZES THAT I AM SMART ENOUGH TO USE OEM INK AND
PRINTING IN LOWER CASE USES LESS INK.

I do not have any links - I don't bookmark that sort of stuff. I
believe I read it on one of the DVD forums a couple months ago, so if
you are really interested you can google for it, keyword "newegg".

Problem being newegg is like a top keyword for the site... and the
fact of the matter is most people are happy with them. Again i'm not
saying what you said isn't true... just simply it doesn't track with my
experence.
To at least backup your statement
[http://www.epinions.com/Newegg_com_Online_Stores_Services/display_~reviews/sec_~survey_list/pp_~29]
Google search: newegg problem open box

I have heard of odd ball experences that simply didn't track. For
example I had issues with my mp760

THEN USE CANON INK

... feed problem... paper jam sensor
was stuck. According to what I read by one person [I also don't have a
link handy] they got their rebate and canon refered them to newegg for
a printer replacement, which couldn't be handled because the barcode
was missing... but when I talked to canon support about my printer it
was replaced without a hitch. My box was long since gone, I didn't
have to provide proof of ownership, everything was 100% groovy.

My experence with newegg has been 100% postive. Refurb items were
clearly marked as such.

Measkete said: Removed per reqest

Sure... that must have been the problem. A switch in the duplex unit
got stuck causing the printer to report a paper jam has *something* to
do with not using OEM ink? Yet my ip3000 that i've owned longer has no
issues? And the fact that I had to use my old printhead.

ARE YOU STILL USING EPSON PIGMENTED INK IN YOUR CANON PRINTER?

OK.

http://www.chiefvalue.com is Newegg's sister site and does
ship Fedex still. Sometimes their prices are nearly the
same (only a few cents if any different) but others one of
them is a dollar or more cheaper than the other... even on
same refurb'd products.

computers, peripherals, and other electronic items in your experience?

I know of pricegrabber and shopzilla but would like to know of any
others.

*I really think the upper case is much easier to read and you do not
have to keep hitting the shift key. Some like it while others do no*t

Dude, that was you... remember you tested the ip6600D in your lab for 6
months with epson pigmented inks According to you... it was your
intent to sabotage the test so the ip4000 would look better.

His Sinclair computer only has upper case.

His Sinclair computer only has upper case.

TCP/IP for a sinclair? That's impressive. But that's no excuse...
even the ZX had two shift keys.

 

[Frank]

His Sinclair computer only has upper case.

Again I thank G_d this idiot knows nothing about advertising, marketing
or for that matter ink, paper or printers and continues to shout and use
all caps in his daily diatribes. That means that fewer and fewer people
read his moronic lies. He has painted himself into a corner using paint
that will never dry. He's stuck in that corner and stuck-on-stupid.
Good for him as he belongs there.

It's only shouting if you think capital letters denote shouting,
otherwise they are just capital letters.
