It's possibly retailers marking up the price because it's new, but we can't be sure

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

Can't explain Amazon's pricing, but NCIX is usually (in my experience) more expensive than other popular e-tailers.

Disregard NCIXs price of 650 since thats CAD so it's really 590 (ish), could simply be that Newegg have purchased more units and therefore been able to get a lower price per unit as a bulk order (common business practice) it can also come down to the business relationship between two companies, in the past if Newegg have moved a lot of GPU's for a manufacturer they'll want to keep doing business with them and give them a preferential rate that way.

newegg.com is always the cheapest place whenever I look for PC stuff. And NCIX is usually the most expensive (out of these 3)

Thus when I buy pc components I buy from Newegg and their warehouse is down the street from my house so I can just pick it up there on the same day I ordered it

Newegg in my opinion are just simply the best when it comes to selling parts. Thank god they started shipping to Ireland with Newegg my build came to 790 with other retailers in and around Ireland they came to over just over 1000.

Newegg is one of the few companies that show you the price before mail in rebate. It's one of my biggest pet peeves with Ncix and Tiger Direct, and thats saying a lot for ncix and their hot mess of a website. Unless a mail-in-rebate is 15 dollars or more, its not worth it for me to spend a couple bucks mailing a rebate to the states, and waiting 2 months to get a prepaid Visa card, only to find out a product is defective and can no longer get an RMA. Aside from their crappy shipping options, Newegg is generally better.

NewEgg sells so freaking much they can lower their prices a bit to beat the competition getting less profit per sale and still pwn NCIX and Amazon due to the huge amount of sales.

 

I still don't see why people are even looking at the NCIX site, they never have anything or if they do like the OP states its more than NewEgg. I know Linus worked there but had he worked at Best Buy would you still be looking for deals there first? Yea, yea, NCIX will still have some deals but I doubt it will be for something you actually want.

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

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Because NCIX pricing is Canadian and Newegg is USD...NCIX usually has some of the best deal if you live in Canada, not to mention the fact you can price match nearly everything down to the same price as the competition so it doesn't matter what price they have.

It's actually the same price at NCIX US. The more you know~ Seriously, before bashing a store for their pricing, how about getting it right?

Amazon is actually selling it CHEAPER than Newegg at $549.99 although it's out out stock, so order it now before they raise the price when they're selling like hotcakes

maybe read what you type before posting, so you can get it right. ncix has separate websites for US and Canada, and so does newegg, as well as amazon, tiger direct etc... 

 

A person would have to be so dumb that they die due to dehydration from drooling, to not know the difference between the US and Canadian sites.

 

or you're just trolling... if so, nice one.

Yes, but the OP did NOT quote the pricing from NCIX US, he got Amazon US, Newegg US and NCIX Canada, then complains that every store but newegg has high prices.

I posted the NCIX US link to the same product (note in the url it says ncixus.com not ncix.com), clearly showing the OP was wrong in his assumption that NCIX is overpricing their products. No trolling here and I feel you didn't understand properly want I wanted to convey.

 

But then again, if the OP really lives in Mexico, he would have to order from NCIX Canada, in which case, not worth it, shop elsewhere, the shipping fee alone ruins it.

The $600+ Amazon prices are 3rd party sellers.

Since Amazon them selves are sold out they put the 3rd party sellers as the main link.

Well, Newegg tends to be all about deals for one. And maybe they can afford to do that because they are able to purchase all of the stuff at a lower price than their competition. This is just speculation on my part, though.
