well newegg is a trusted and commonly used online store, basically the amazon of computer hardware, so I doubt the newegg listing is a scam, and even if it is you could just return the item, as for why it is cheaper, I honestly have no idea, but you should get the cheaper one if you want to save money

So basically I was looking for a GPU on Mightyape (A New Zealand website) when I thought I would also check out Newegg as they ship to New Zealand. When I went on to Newegg I discovered that a Sapphire Nitro+ RX570 4gb was $460 NZD on Mightyape but only $255 NZD on Newegg. The Newegg card is sold and shipped by Newegg but I am worried I will get scammed. Why is the price so low on Newegg? Is it a scam? Maybe Mightyape is just charging much higher prices because they are a more local company.

A shop in New Zealand is going to have a harder time getting stock because of its location, unlike the US. Thats why your prices are high.

You will not be scammed of Newegg. Iirc they don't allow third party sellers, but if they did, you'd have purchase protection.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
