You wouldn't think that Newegg would treat you the same way that some kid in a basement on a far away continent does, but here they go:
I ordered and paid for a R9 290x from Newegg yesterday for $550 with overnight shipping. This morning Newegg decided to void my order without a specific explanation, and recommended that I should check with my Credit Card company for a wrong address (Uhh... I used Paypal).
Immediately after the email I came back to the site and see that the same card is now listed at $650.
So they basically just went and cancelled my order because they decided that can gouge other customers for an extra $100.
Yes, I know that $550 is on the low side for an R9 at this point, but that doesn't mean screwing over open orders from existing customers.
Just venting.

Are you sure it was newegg and not a 3rd party merchant. Anyone can open a store on newegg and sell equipment. I've seen a lot of shady things happen from those merchants.
On the other hand my company has bought $100k of equipment on newegg and you would think that they would provide some better customer service but no.
