Newegg doubles price!

I'm a little ****ed about this. Newegg has raiseed the price of the
TR2-M1 cooler from $8.99 to $15.99. The only reason I can see for this is
the popularity and the five star ratings in 40 reviews. This cooler can
still be bought for $8-$12 elsewhere. The TR2-M2 is now $3 cheaper than
the M1, but it's noisier.

Not everything at newegg is cheaper than other places, thats why you gotta
shop around. There are things that newegg sells at retail price, other
things are 25% cheaper. Example: AMD Athlon 64 2800+ boxed, Newegg sells it
for $185, local retailer sells it for $239.99

Shop around.

every1 does that now days. sell one thing for less, others for more.
as long as you got a few ppl paying too much, your going to make out.
And still be able to sell some things for less.
I know this almost too well....

They did the same thing right after I purchased the GlacialTech Igloo
2500 (non-pro) about a year and half ago. One week it's $15 with free
shipping, the next week $25, after building a long list of glowing
reviews (mine wasn't one of them).

GlacialTech seems to have disappeared from the US market in the
meantime.

That's really an odd attitude. Why does NewEgg owe you a good price? Do
you have a special relationship with them in some way or are you a consumer
just like the rest of us? It's always "Buyer Beware", and it's no different
when you are dealing with Newegg than when you buy from anyone else.

Newegg had themselves established a special position within
this community, and I think Wes was just pointing out that
this, regrettably, may no longer be the case. It could be looked
upon as an announcement that your last sentence above is in full
effect.
