ill flame you publicly

To the messager above::::

You may have had a bad experience, but pricewatch is for real.... and ebay is where the 12 year old will sell the stolen processor... just goto pricewatch and then resellerratings... i just bought a processor, mobo, and hsf, and have hit 1440 with a 1200..... ok? pricewatch is for real and is a good place to shop, just do your research and watch the prices... they tend to have petterns of dropping... i noticed that buying on fridays was a bad idea... no one updates on fri. and you wont get it shipped that day most likely... wait till a tues morning or mon. night to buy... recent updates are more common, and the orders get shipped more quickly.............. good luck

aye pricewatch rocks, although they merely list the prices and doesn't guarantee the actions of the vendor. Definately use the resellerratings.com to sort through your potential list of vendors. I have made maybe 15 purchases using pricewatch and resellerratings and haven't had a bad experience yet. 2 other price listing websites are pricescan and cnet. These 2 usually aren't as low as pricewatch but can sometimes beat them on the less common parts. The best advice is to be prapared to spend a little more to get a vendor with mostly satisfied customers :)

Who is this in response too? And don't you think it's a little bit ridiculous to be flaming someone just because you don't like Ebay? I mean, geez, that's overreacting a little bit, don't you think?

You talk about resellerratings.com? Have you ever noticed that there is a star and a number next to every buyer/seller's name on Ebay? Guess what that number represents: Their feedback rating! Click on it and you can read all of the feedback that user has received! If it's good, then you know you're dealing with a good person, just like if a store has a good rating on resellerratings.com. If the person has bad feedback, then you're a fool if you do business with them! And, unlike pricewatch, the ratings of the sellers are completely out in the open, there's no need to go check at another site that nobody knows about. I bet a lot fewer people get screwed on Ebay because of this, than those who buy off of PriceWatch.

Ebay and Pricewatch are BOTH great tools to get a good deal on something you need to buy. If you use them together, you can save more money than if you use them each separately. It's dumb to have a closed minded attitude about using either Pricewatch or Ebay, but it's worse to try to flame someone (who?) because you have it out for Ebayers.

Don't forget OC Prices - why not support ppl trying to support you?

somehow, this post ended up out of the section it was intended for... and i love ebay! had a lot of great experiences with both ebay and pricewatch, its just that if someone has one thing to sell, they can do it over ebay. Also, if a kid is smart enough to steal a processor w/o his 'rents knowing, he'll be able to use his mom's/dad's account on ebay... so, i know to beware of great deals on ebay, as opposed to pricewatch/resellerratings
