amazon doesn't sell wholesale. I had a few k banked and was looking into it. Everything is bought from wholesalers in bulk and the retail prices for everything we see are the markup. Taxes and overhead make smaller stores markup higher generally for them to pay their bills but they are not getting it from amazon in most cases. If you can find a website that is more "local" ( someone who doesn't necessarily have store levels of overhead and buys bulk and resends the way amazon does from a garage or warehouse location) you can probably get similar value as newegg. I would say look on ebay. Last time I found a good deal that was not a big corporate entity for computer parts was the last time I bought computer parts a decade ago so I don't remember who it was. The local computer store had good deals but they were slightly old sometimes so you had to catch them when they ran out of old supply and got a new bulk order of a new model.
