TigerDirect -- No More Components

C P User 3

I just called, and the guy told me that they don't sell components any more. This confused me, because I looked on their website and it appears that they do. So I clicked on SSD Drives, and it looks like they don't sell those any more. (Just one refurb on the site, nothing new from anyone else.) Did I miss the memo ?

They've shut a lot of stores down in the last year. Not doing well I'd say!

Good riddance to them. They ripped me off by sending me, and charging me for things I didn't, and wouldn't normally, order. When i objected their mantra was - "We show that you ordered these items - do you wish to return you order, there will be return shipping and a restocking fee".

- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Here is how you can stop that before it happens... CitiBank Has This[^] very nice trick. You give the online merchant a credit card number which you limit, both time and money. If they try to hit you for more money than the number is worth, the transaction is denied. A very few other banks also have this. I am surprised that it is not more popular.

Look for rising prices.Less competition is never good.

Are they shutting down entirely? Their listings for laptops/tablets are extremely sparse as well... I'm not that surprised to see them going. Buying a bunch of stores from a failed boxmart chain was dumping money down the toilet. Online they suffered from being less searchable than Newegg and not having cheap/free expedited shipping like Amazon (prime).

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

I haven't bought from them in several years but they were my #1 hardware for a very long time. Too bad! :sigh:

Agreeing with that ! I wonder if ... - The market is just in its final phase - The market is not in its final phase, it's just downsizing now that computers are no longer so groovy - The unfair reality of economic recession chose this company to hit - The company is okay, but the owner(s) are lonely for the old days of mega profits - This is just one company's business decision (i.e., an anomaly, not a major market indicator) - Space aliens heisted the inventory - None of the above - All of the above I wonder, wonder, wonder, if another company (quite likely, ex-employees) will form a Phoenix from the ashes. Then again, I'm thinking of my own actions with them. I did hundreds of dollars with them between 2000 and 2010, maybe in the thousands; but then far less in this decade. And so... Is this an anomaly ? Or a market indicator ? i.e., Does America have enough paying customers for such a possible Phoenix to emerge ? Does anyone have any on-the-ins perspectives from them or NewEgg or CDW or others in that market ?

You and me both; I'm asking myself, you and me and two million others ?
