Newegg is the best "Place" in the World

Did you buy me something nice?

yea i got you a 55in LCD and a soundbar

OK, you made me curious so I looked. With each purchase rounded to the nearest dollar, it looks like I've bought about $12,248 worth of stuff at Newegg since 2002. Have it not been for me starting to cut back on upgrades in 2005 or so, it would've been much worse. If I'm bored one day, I'll have to break it down by year. $900 of that figure was for a TV, but the rest was for computer gear except the occasional Xbox controller.

It would look really sporadic for years...one year I spent 5k, and another only 1K~, or less...kind off odd, wonder why that is.

I wish they'd make pretty graphs of my spending habits, I like pretty graphs that help decipher my habits.

I am afraid to add up my Amazon history...

I do too. That would be cool to see. Or at least let you easily download your history to Excel so you can graph it quickly.

I don't think any dealership will allow that :biggrin:

Ah but they do!!
My mom paid for a $22K car on CC. I was there (she partially used one of my CCs so that cashback on the UPromise.

I also did a $32K kitchen remodel years ago on CC.

Time to email newegg, see if they could make it happen!

Kind of like mint.com, that is slick.

Shit. It took them WAY too long to get your invoices/history searchable. HATED THAT.

 

[Homerboy]

Oh! Also for all you addicts out there. they are having a pre-BF sale!

2TBs for $80!!?!?!?!

damn, wish the place would have let me do that...I wired the money. It's a 2.5-3.5% hit on the purchase, I am surprised they let your mom do that.

humm neweggs secure server times out on me when i try to go and look for the total spent. pretty sure it was around 12k last i looked, last time a thread like this popped up, im assuming its around 15k now

Newegg is the only major online shopping I do. I starting shopping there in 2008 probably, when I built my first computer. I have spent about $3500 there probably, which includes a $1400 50" plasma, one full computer, two monitors, and one huge upgrade.

Great drive, I have 3 of them already too.

They had them on sale for $60 the other day ... sold out so fast!

is amazon > newegg? I haven't bought computer parts in years except for ram and hard drives, but I find prices on amazon to always be cheaper.

 

[Josh123]

Not so bad really ... think of purchasing computer stuff like a new car...I made the big purchase, and after a few months/years i'll sell the item off and lose 20-50% of it's value, and start off getting a new item again.

If you notice, my first heat post was 12-16-2002, when I probably sold that item, and upgraded off the egg .

I always do this. The AnandTech FS/T forum has helped me a lot when selling my old parts

 

[ViviTheMage]

Yup I prefer FS/T over craigslist usually...haha.

 

[Bateluer]

$2200 in 8 years at NE? That's it?
Horribly lightweight.

No kidding. I've spent more at Newegg in the past decade than I have on my car.

amazon really is > everything, the only thing NE has it beat on is the layout IMO

5990.02 since 1/19/2005

 

[69Mach1]

$6829.03 since January '02 for me, I probably have at least that much again at Mwave. I seem to buy a lot of small items, with large purchases when I upgrade.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

just shy of 60k at the nuevo huevo; I used to build systems for people using new egg.

 

[FeuerFrei]

$2,737 at NewEgg since May 2002.
No way I'm going to tally all my online expenditures.

Yep. I bought 2 of them at $60.

8104 since 5/02 at newegg.....
