Your 6800K is not much cheaper than a NEW one from newegg for example. You sell yours for $425 USD, yet I found it on newegg canada for $423 USD.
I've always said you can tell when someone isn't trying to do business by how much they haggle.
Here's a good question for you: Do you think I'm going to match that price and wait like a week for over half of 1,000$ to be released to me?
In reality, for the inconvenience of Escrow in my life, It should be higher..
I should raise the price of everything by like 10-20$ because I'm literally tying up 95% of my money to make sub 5% profit per each sale.
Consider the "New-Egg" prices on some NEW items an indication that Intel doesn't have a lot that they can float cheaply yet; the price will obviously go lower over time.
I mean the solution to your problem is really easy; just buy it from NewEgg
You won't need to worry about my prices; I won't need to worry about Escrow
Most likely I'll sell one on NewEgg or eBay for the full 430-440 anyway and I'll get paid immediately without the need for an Escrow hostage situation.
Yes, I view Escrow as being similar to having my money held hostage; being at the mercy of two people I don't know.
All for sub 5% profit.
Can we please keep it real?
They're not stolen or SAMPLE items placed into new boxes; I'm not obtaining them illegally.
If I was obtaining them illegally you would see black-market prices but I'm not doing that; the HW obtained in that was is really not the best quality
Edit: Sometimes I DO obtain Sample units and can float them for incredibly cheap money, but only things from last-generation.
I can obtain i5s that were originally i7s but had errors relating to Hyper-threading operations.
These i5 versions come at a cheaper price; but I'm not going to be a fuckster and sell them although nobody would know the difference here anyway
In life you get what you pay for, because my shit isn't illegal or sketchy the price reduction is not going to be THAT huge.
There's a huge difference between a legit deal and something that's the result of crime
I think you're talking to me like I'm able to get these units for like 50-100 USD and that's just not the case
As I said I make like less than 5% profit per item; It's almost not even worth my time to ship them
IF you go back a generation (a year) and ask about HW, you'll find the price I can give you will be slashed at maybe 25-30%
Ask for OEM things and you'll find anywhere from 40-75% off
Edit: I can find you a reject 8700k if you're hurting for money like that?
It may have only 1 defect; such as that it cannot divide by 3209.
I can acquire defect-chips like this at 25-50$ and you may never notice this breakage during regular use.
STILL, nobody wants to buy something like that
I feel your intention was to price-bash and not so much because you're trying to buy anything
I realize your high trust level is important here; but please don't treat me like a prostitute by putting cigarettes out on my face.
