What's to stop me from getting the 30-day trial, buying all the parts for my new desktop build and then canceling? Nothing, I guess, but unlike Amazon, I don't see myself using Newegg beyond the once every two years to buy system components for a new build.


That's how I used to think of Newegg too, but they've branched out way beyond computer parts.

It's a very similar evolution to Amazon itself, which of course used to be a book store.


Some fraction of people won't cancel. They wager that those people can cover the costs of those who do cancel.

At least that's the intuitive logic.
