Whats the catch?!

I see at my local computer shop, a Apollo ATI raedon 9600 se for $106.
But then I see one at newegg.com that only cost around $75. Come on now... there has to be a catch.
Anyone mind telling me why the prices are sooo low?
 
$106 for a Radeon 9600SE is really overpriced. There is no catch. Newegg is just a good online retailer. The Radeon 9600SE is pretty old now if you ask me. What games are you planning on playing?
 
why would there be a catch? its just usually cheaper to buy online, unless you lookon shop websites in which case its about £2 cheaper, and thats not inc p+p
 
I was just comparing a random card (the 9600se) with the store and online.
But I'm just going to assume that the website is outdated.
hmm... does $210 for a 9600 Pro sound like a good price? Or is my computer place just really over priced?

Obviously by looking at newegg... it is..

No, the prices from the store you saw are just outdated.

haha holy crap i wish i could markup stuff that well ... ok .. i wish i could markup stuff that well ... often.
 
i think newegg is close to #1 online computer supplier for most people (if not #1). there is NO catch to there sales, i've bought for them for a very long time and they are just great. tiger direct is also popular.

your computer store is just trying to make a buck. look at bestbuy or compusa when they aren't having a blow-out sale, you will usually see a $20-$50 price difference. Compusa wanted $150 for a soyo mobo that i bought for $75. (yes i was a total n00b then)
