Anyone that is looking at picking up an X3 720


Shopblt the place i had originally ordered the X3 from emailed me today and informed me that they have them now in stock for 153.99. If you want to save yourself 17 dollars they're a really great company to deal with and rival newegg in the customer service department.

I'm waiting for microcenter to stock the 710/720. They have them listed at 120/140, respectively.

For some reason I just dont trust this site? I have it in my cart right now and the free shipping is making it verrrrry temping. Its still 10 bucks more than what I wanted to spend.
Im glad they have it in stock, maybe eggs prices will start to come down? They have some interesting inventory statistics. I like what they list for "incoming" stock!

They have a huge amount coming in on the 23rd, and maybe newegg does too, if so the price could come back down.

Ill pull the trigger if someone else does too.....

Mx,

From what i've experienced from them they are top notch. Any question i had asked via email was answered within one hour, When i cancelled my order they did everything possible to see if i wanted to replace it with anything else and even called me and thanked me for my order and looked forward to working with me again.

Newegg's prices have increased ever since they have listed it. It will not be coming down anytime soon.

Thanks very much, Rick... I like the looks of the inventory stats... maybe egg's prices will come down once that big shipment starts going out. I think I'm gonna do the same thing as MX and wait a couple more days... just to see... I'm a creature of habit when it comes to buying online and I've got a sneaky suspicion that all the retailers are getting a big shipment on Monday... my guess is that the Egg will have that thing for less than $150 by Tues morning...

Meh, its already on the way, it will be here monday. it will actually still be a little cheaper after shipping from newegg, so its a wash really. Just kinda funny how I knew that was gonna happen.

Oh forgot the full size Ford conversion van that get's 12 mpg on a good day (man she humms).
