[Tfug] Cheap parts online?

[Don Freeman]

If you're up Phoenix way Fry's Electronics at Baseline and I-10 is pretty
good. They also have an online presence. I've bought from Tiger Direct and
Newegg with no problems.

If you do business with someone who it turns out has a pattern of abuse file
a complaint with the attorney general's office, business fraud division.

(This is from a message from a couple of years ago so many of the links may

TigerDirect and OnRebate Scam
    "If you purchase something from TigerDirect and try to get the rebate
from 
    OnRebate.com, Good Luck!" It seems that many people are being denied 
    rebates for items purchased at TigerDirect. TigerDirect points the fault

    at OnRebate.com and washes their hands of it. But guess what? THEY'RE 
    SISTER COMPANIES!
