CPUs join Newegg's GPU Trade-In program
So that's what happened.
The last time I bought from them (a few years ago now), I chose to buy an item from them instead of Amazon, to support less monolithic companies and because they used to have good reputation. I did this even though it was a few dollars more for the same item (like $23 vs $20, I think it was a dvd drive). It turns out they were just buying the Amazon item and reselling it at the higher price, it arrived in the original Amazon box with a new shipping label slapped on top.
Newegg is a shop and a marketplace. Just like Amazon, they sell their own stuff, and they allow others to sell on their marketplace. If you buy a product from Newegg itself, it's coming straight from Newegg, but other sellers will often just have stuff shipped to you from Amazon.
