That's less than $1/GB. That's a pretty hot deal!

Amazon is notorious for raising the price depending on the number of purchases/clicks. Yes, they raised it.

The hottest deals are often the fastest deals...

I have never seen Newegg do this doing a hot deal where lots of clicks are involved. I have seen Amazon do it on almost every hot deal that I've clicked on through their site and monitored. I've seen Newegg deals expire on a "time based" cutoff, but not on clicks alone.

I've seen NewEgg's price creeping years ago. I'm pretty sure it's just a simple script connected to a database that can be integrated into any online shopping system, so I fail to see why it wouldn't be wide-spread. That's probably why the cheapest results on Froogle are always OOS - no buys, price creeps down.

I'm not sure what Newegg does, but I do know that there are times when deals end prematurely. For instance I recently posted a deal on an Ooma Telo. Newegg said the deal was good through 1/21, but they pulled the coupon code a couple days ago.
