text: No, there is no catch.  For one that 6200 card in stores in probably the PCIe version hence more expensive, even on Newegg.  I think you're the one who is (was) talking about the 6200 PCI card.  Two, Newegg doesn't have to meat any overhead like paying retail employees to sell the products.  Three, they don't have to maintain any retail stores but they have three warehouses (soon to be four) spread across the US to serve the west, mid-west and eastern states with utmost efficiency.  I can't think of reason 4.  But unless otherwise noted, products on Newegg are new, retail versions of the same product you will find in stores.  OEM denotes the product does not come with all accessories, just the product, manual and essentials to get it working.  Newegg clearly marks items as refurbished, these items have been returned for one reason or another, re-certified by the manufacturer and are sold with all accessories as the retail version but may come in a plain box denoted refurbished.  Overstock items, well those are labeled too but maybe not as emphatically.  Whatever the case whenever you order from Newegg, you know what you're getting when you order it.  Items are, as I said, clearly marked.\n\nAnd to Sean who has clearly never visited Newegg, MOST of the items are new retail versions and not refurbished.  I think Newegg speaks for itself on this point.  If MOST of the items were refurbished, then they would be labeled that way since most of them are not, most of the items are new retail versions with a good few being new OEM versions as well.  Very few items on Newegg are refurbished but those that are, are clearly labeled.\n\nAnd the warranty is not 30-days, most items from Newegg have a 30-day return policy, I believe CPUs and similar hardware have a shorter return period varying between 7 and 15 days after which you still have the manufacturers warranty to fall back one which can very greatly between products.  I've been ordering happily for five years from Newegg, I've never had but one issue with one of my orders which was resolved with one email.\n\nPerhaps that's true for some items but I never buy the cheapest one they have.  I'm not the only one that thinks Newegg is the best thing since sliced bread, read the reviews at Bizrate, http://www.bizrate.com/ratings_guide/cust_reviews__mid--28697.html there are people that have not been happy with Newegg but they are in a minority (a very small minority).\n\nI'm not denying that some of the items may be used or refurbished but in my experience I have never seen Newegg misrepresent a product.  But then again, I just don't go and buy the cheapest one of the item I am looking at either, that's something no one should do.  Granted people have been burned by Newegg but Newegg is also one of the few stores that reply and follow up to bad reviews.
