Newegg does not post and review negative of Newegg. I was sent bad RAM and
have to pay $11 restocking fee plus shipping. With Frys you never have to do
that.

Probably because of your wording. They posted my (tactful, as
always, heheh) negative review of their shipping/packaging.

If you aren't abusive, they'll post a review like that.

You just have to pay more and submit to a cavity search as you leave
their building. For computer components, these days local stores
(and their online outlets) are a joke.

Intel CPUs cost about $8 more at Mwave with shipping.

In other words, they don't tell you that the parts are used. I would
rather homebuild a computer with factory fresh parts shipped in a
sealed retail box (and mine are only a few hours away!). These days,
new parts don't need to be tested or burnt in.

You must be talking about a different online merchant. Newegg's
search engine/indexing is the best on the Internet, bar none.

They are catering to people like me who are into technical products
better supported with documentation found on the Internet and in
peer-reviewed answerers like in a USENET discussion group. There is
nothing else like shopping for technically oriented products on the
Internet. My local stores never served me anywhere near as well.
Technical information about a product shouldn't go through an
intermediary.

You can easily link to a category.

They aren't perfect, when I rub me the wrong way you'll hear about
it.
