Poll: Where Do You Usually Buy Tech From?

I have a micro center about 30 minutes from were I live. The downside to buying from a local store, is sales tax.

I buy from amazon (got that amazon prime, so getting something in 2 days usually can make up the $10 max diff for me), and in the past few months it seems they started charging tax.

Check out my rig on my profile, Here!

Phone: Note 4 (32GB, White, 64GB "Mobile Ultra" mSD); Back-up Note 3 (32GB, Black)

On a related note, best deal gets my dough and no one has listed my rouge on-line vendor, which I think is good because the less of you who buy from them the more they have to stay with low prices to compete. So I'm not telling you's which one :D

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Ncix and price match using shopbot to the lowest price.

 

Canada's Amazon.ca is such a hard fail.

Newegg/Amazon for online; they have the best customer service for anytime there is something wrong with your stuff.

 

I also go to Microcenter just for CPUs because they have them much cheaper even after tax.

Yea, I know what you mean. It's 9% over here, it makes everything more expensive.

Yeah that's about what it is here. The PC I built was around $800 so if I would have bought all the parts at micro center, that would be around $80 extra in tax.

Used to be newegg alot, but ever since they've been increasing their prices by a shitton when they're the only ones with the item I need in stock, I haven't been shopping there much.

 

This was like 329$ not to long ago, and the MSRP is something like 250$ :  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151105 

 

This was 199.99 last week, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139057 

 

This was 279.99 last week, and before that it was like 254.99, now it's 310$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438013 

 

Luckily I got my hands on an evga p2 that was in stock for 220$ w/ free ship :D

Stuff:  i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz  |  Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda
