The E6300 is $187 on newegg.com with free 3 day ups shipping. Saving $29 could allow you to get a C2D in some budgets. But yes I get your thought process on the matter.

By a few, you mean $30... which is incentive enough, all though this one doesn't come with heatsink/fan.

Saving the $29 would allow you to buy an aftermarket cooler which I HOPE anyone would do to begin with.
 
I heard that the stock heatsink and fan with the C2D are pretty deece, allowing them to be over clocked to 3.0 or more.
 
so what happens if your cpu takes a dump? is he gonna be their to reimburse you? Will Intel accept him as a real dealer and warranty you even though you purchased it at auction? Will intel recognize this seller as a authorized dealer? Doesnt seem like the savings of $30 is worth it now does it.

Well I bought a PSU from Omega for $40+ cheaper than newegg.com granted I don't get all the things above but yes that's the risk you take for saving $. :D
 
As far as bargain parts from and unknown party go.... im not so cool with em. If something goes wrong, they you just gotta hope that the person/company you bought it from has good customer service, and if they dont, you are just outta luck. reputable retailer always. thats how i like to shop.
 
well atleast its computer parts which are reasonably cheap, I recently had a incident where I spent $700 on a turbocharger for my car, unfortunatly it took a dump on me and the manufacturer wont warranty it because it was purchased through a company on ebay that wasnt a registered dealer so I'm stuck dishing $800 from a registered dealer for the same product but this time it'll be under warranty.
 
I bought my current CPU of a ebay-like site. granted.. i went on a 180kilometer trip across the country to pick it up (I dont trust the mail with these kind of things.) but the CPU was in a sealed box etc, and i've never had trouble with it. :)

(as for the traveling part.. I can go for free with the bus and the train because I'm a student, ^^ )
