Yes, ditto on newegg. My heroes for fighting patent trolls and building the best shopping cart ever and having good products at good prices. Lately it's been in decline though. Haven't bought anything there for over a year.

The patent troll-fighting heroes have moved on from Newegg. It’s owned by different people now.

What's the alternative to newegg if I may ask?

Does it need a replacement? Newegg still sells a wide selection of genuine parts at reasonable prices.

>They're not going to carry junk that always gets returned
I'm guessing you mean specialty stores, and not Walmart.
This is why I've gone back to buying from brick-and-mortar stores. They've done the curation. They're not going to carry junk that always gets returned. Ten years ago, if I could buy it from Amazon, with Prime shipping, I wouldn't leave my seat. Now, if I can buy it from Target, Best Buy, or Kroger, I'll just make the trip. Good work, Amazon. I've canceled my auto-renew for Prime. I'm done.
Unfortunately, NewEgg also seems to be following in Amazon's "marketplace" footsteps. If you're listening, guys, you have an opportunity to NOT do this!...
