(RANT) Pricewatch Sucks

[phishncode]

I am not one to complain (much) really and I consider this post more of a community service annoucement. But pricewatch which I use as an industry standard for pricing has lost all merit IMHO.

Let me explain why.

Go and check out the motherboard combos.

Look at the pricing.

Find
Tufshop
BZBOYZ
PartsPC

notice they are all from Signal Hill CA

they are all in the same building and they are all the same company. They also all pull the same BS. And a few of them have problems with the BBB.

Now luckily we have noticed that pricewatch started adding Feedbacks about vendors which should stop these scammers from pulling Bait and Switch or just plain old sending bad parts.

Wrong what happens is that these guys somehow delete there bad feedback. I have been watching it for weeks. I may start taking screenshots.

Has anyone else noticed this pattern. Has anyone else lost faith in pricewatch. Luckily we have a few really good vendors out there and I have my favorite but, I am not going to turn this into an ad.

Your comments are appreciated.

1. Newegg.com
2. Outpost.com-for specials only.
3. Ecost.com-only for "Bargain countdown" and free shipping.
4. Pricegrabber- IMHO the best of the bunch.
