Is Newegg bad now? Historically heard good things, what happened? Private equity?
- Liquix 5y agoFrom Wikipedia: "In 2016, Liaison Interactive, a Chinese technology company, acquired a majority stake in Newegg in an investment deal." "In 2020, Newegg entered into a merger agreement with Lianlou Smart Limited wherein Newegg stockholders became majority owners of LLIT. Following the consummation of the merger, Newegg listed as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq in May 2021 as Newegg Commerce, Inc." Don't know anything about it, but the timeline seems about right

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoNewegg power search is good, but it does seem to have gone downhill in pretty much all other respects since Amazon became huge. I really want the power search but with a reputable vendor and don't really care if it isn't the cheapest option. Sadly I'm unaware of anywhere like that.
