Newegg dot EU

Oh, people do care as long as the price is right. It's a rather distant second priority, especially in the enthusiast market for PC parts. Good service can be something that distinguishes you from the competition but it's nothing you can justify higher prices with on the German market. I think the market is seriously fucked up in that regard.

Germans are indeed Europe's worst cheapskates... There seem to be symptoms of similar behaviour in other countries lately, too. Still, while Lidl caused a bit of a stir when it entered Nordic markets, its growth has been limited. The hypermarkets of the local players are getting the big money here. And, as the local market here is much smaller than in Germany, you can't compensate lower margins with higher volume as easily.
