I have an issue with New Egg which I believe has negative tax consequences. I have already complained to no avail.
I am looking to purchase more Sapphire RX470 8gb cards after evaluating one. Currently this card from NE is listed at $214 with a free $60 game.
The problem is the way they invoice. For the one card I purchased, they supplied two invoices.
The first invoice takes the card price of $214 and then an obscurely written 2nd line on the invoice subtracts "a credit" for $60. So the first invoice shows that the net card cost is $154.
The second invoice is for the $60 video game and the total line has $60. Adding the two together and voila, we get the $214 catalog price total.
My complaint to them was that they are potentially hurting any business customer because their way of invoicing shows cost basis of the card as $154 not $214. While the chance of an audit is tiny, your invoice has reduced the cost basis of this card by $60 and you have given me a game invoice for $60. Especially for an order of say five, what is the audit defense against expensing 5 identical $60 computer games.?

Just want to make sure I understand, but you are actually paying $214, but then you get a game worth $60? So when you make the purchase, $214 is coming out of your bank account?
Correct. $214 on a cc. You are given 2 separate invoices with completely different invoice numbers. The one for $154, is the RX470. The other one for is $60, a "Hitman" PC game. The price on their website for this card is $214. No mention of this weird allocation of cost. The game is some sort of incentive in lieu of a discount. I asked about getting a further discount and no game. No can do.
