Update: Newegg *HAS* jumped the shark. Death Watch?

Well, it happens to the best of them.

I was looking for a flat panel TV for my daughter, and happened to look at Plasma TV's at Newegg, to see if they were still the best deal.

Well, I went to the page for 42+", and 29 out of 37 had no prices- you had to add them to your cart.  Some, being truly evil, you had to enter your credit card at checkout just to see the price.

Then, I noticed, out of the "new" ( not recertified, open box, or out of stock ) there were only 2 out of 28 that had prices!

 I had to send a comment to them to tell them how disappointed I was, and found that there was a 1000 character limit!

Well, that's one way to say "People aren't saying much bad about our new policies".

Sigh


Update - LED/LCD TV's aren't any better - "click for details" is code for "enter your credit card to see the price"

Update 2 "We're sorry. Due to technical difficulties[emphasis mine] we are temporarily unable to accept Discover cards through our Credit Card payment option. Discover cards may be used via the PayPal option. Please select an alternate credit card or payment method."

SO I can't even get the price now?

Let's watch their downhill slide in Reseller Ratings :-(
