Default Newegg pricing is wrong?

I've been riding the camel for the past few weeks and really like it, but today all of a sudden the prices it shows for Newegg don't match the real price at all anymore!

I have noticed this with several components, here are just a couple of them:

http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16813188046
http://camelegg.com/product/N82E16820220389

Click on the Newegg product link to see the discrepancy.

In case of the Torqx the difference is huge: $70!
(ok, so the difference is "only" $50 if you take the MIR into account,
but I was under the impression that camelegg doesn't do it)

What gives?
I'd love to think that Newegg's site has a bug, but somehow I doubt it

Thanks!

Might be a feed problem. I think the sites gets a feed from them and imports it. So the feed from who ever camel uses must be wrong.

Yup. I have noticed such discrepancies before, too, and upon further investigation it usually turns out that the feed we get from Newegg is incorrect or not updated yet. They usually update their feeds by and by and camelegg will show you the right price when they do. Not much we can do in this case.

Dan, the developer, is on vacation right now, but I will make sure we investigate this when he returns next week. Chances are it will fix itself before then though, if history is anything to go by.

Looks like it was just a timing issue. Bit of a delay in the data Newegg gives us.

Welcome aboard!
