It is really annoying. Like you said, I wish they'd just tell me they don't have it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have also, on at least two occasions, offered extremely low prices on preorder computer parts and then rescinded the offer when the items became available. Of course, if you wanted to cough up full retail, you could still get your preorder. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #4 October 3, 2002 If you want good deals on computer parts, check out http://www.newegg.com I bought a hard drive from them on Monday, and it will be waiting for me by the time I get home today. Western Digital 100GB 7200rpm 8MB Cache $129 Sounded like a good deal to me. "Your mother's full of stupidjuice!" My Art Project Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #5 October 3, 2002 My dealings with Buy.com have been mixed. I've ordered things from them at least 50 times, including a good number of corporate purchases for my job. When they have something in stock, it is usually very well priced and arrives the next day, even with regular shipping. My home and office are only about 100 miles from their Pennsylvania warehouse. The problem is when things are out of stock. They aren't good about notification, and customer service isn't great. Buy.com has been either very good for me, or very bad, but seldom anything in between. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
