    Recommended Computer Parts Seller

    I'm not sure if this breaks the forum rules, if it does I apologize in advance.

    Over the past two months I've been dealing with this ebay member for my graphics card and I have to say, I've never had a more reasonable salesman in my life. His username is premisesales. If anyone is looking for computer parts (especially laptop graphics cards), I highly recommend him, his communication has been great, he's been willing to assist me with everything, overall just a great experience.

    Again, sorry if this is breaking the forum rules, I just know that sometimes people get screwed by getting parts from irresponsible or rude people, from personal experience, I wish that I had gotten some recommendations here or there in the past few years.

    That's why I don't use Ebay anymore. Thanks for the tip though. I put the name in my contacts list.

    peace!

    Another good one but not as well known that I've used is ChiefValue.com

    They are a NewEgg company and when your order arrives, it's in a NewEgg box. I always check their site and NewEgg's when I'm ready to buy because they go back and forth on the best price and sometimes it's the difference in shipping costs that makes the difference. For shipping on a single item, ChiefValue usually has the lowest price. For multiple items, it seems that NewEgg comes up with the best shipping price.

    Either way, I've never been unhappy with my orders from either of them.

    For sure, thanks for that Ozar (knew about newegg). For me it was a part that hardly anywhere had (who sells graphics cards for laptops other than manufacturers for the most part?...especially ones that no longer are made

    But I'll keep that site in mind if I ever need regular computer parts

    Ive only used newegg, and havn't had a reason to switch from it.

    but since chiefvalue is a newegg company id use them too.
