Newegg Launches $50 Amazon Prime Competitor

I wonder how well their marketplace is doing? The selection seems poor and almost random, like a flea market. I never think to check Newegg for things other than computer parts and I almost always end up ordering on amazon because I have Prime. I guess this may change that.

I agree on the marketplace. I usually order my parts from Newegg, though, because I have a preferred account and Amazon pricing for computer parts is sometimes very strange and volatile. I saw a set of memory sticks I was looking at go from $136 to $235 to $147 in the span of a week.

In some ways Newegg is like the Best Buy paradigm for me (try things out at Best Buy, purchase on Amazon). Newegg always has better technical details and specs than Amazon but Amazon usually has better prices + Prime. I hope this works out well for the Egg

While Amazon is great overall, in many specific areas they also seem random like a flea market.
