[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2500433, member: 76792"] Well, we do have eBay available to us. I'm seeing pretty amazing pricing there for Xeons, I'm looking at a pair of E5 X5680 for $30 shipped from China. Some members have had eBay purchases arrive without customs or any other issues, there's a thread somewhere about this. And there's OLX if you're patient. I check my searches daily and there are gems to be found there if you're very very patient, I picked up a lot of used hardware that way. CEX also has occasional deals, if you have there's a store nearby. I've gotten cameras and graphics cards from there in the past. Usually our population density works against us, since someone else is sure to swipe up a decently priced item. But not everyone can check everything all the time, so perseverance always wins out. Even Amazon sometimes has better deals here (with coupons) than in the US. edit: And there's a growing selection of online refurbishers like budli and saudewala [/QUOTE]
