Is reseller ratings still a thing?
Yes, reseller ratings is still a thing. Not sure how trustworthy it is as with all online reviews it makes complete sense for a company just to pay like 50 bucks to a bunch of random people to make up hundreds of reviews and drive their score up.
Nice, I just had to give up on Newegg after getting scammed. Do you have advice on a reliable seller?
In the end I just ordered from Newegg and Amazon (and a 2TB hard drive from adorama) because both have fairly good reputations.
I'm not all that worried about being scammed and I should just be able to get a replacement if something ends up not working. Maybe I *should* be more worried, but I'm not quite so worried because I'm planning on checking every part to see its what it should be and that it works, and if it isn't, Newegg's policy should protect me.
I could have ordered from outletpc for some stuff cause it was cheper for 4 parts, but. A) They just lower the price by 10 cents from the nearest rival, and then just up it as soon as they run out/raise their prices (which is kind of scummy), and B) They don't have as good reviews, which when I will be spending hundreds of dollars and will have to wait a significant amount of time if anything isn't working perfectly is kind of worrisome.
