Asus jacks up pricing of Crosshairs V Formula Z

Asus has jacked up pricing of the Crosshairs V Formula Z motherboard for months the price was $229.95 at New egg now its $50 more. The same is true o n other sites. The price has exploded. This is a total ripoff and people should barrage Asus with emails telling them off for treating their customers in this way. They are being rapaciously greedy and need to be punished for it.

Distributors don't have them in stock , this is why Egg and others rise the price , look at the stock of NCIX, only 3 left in 2 of their stores, no one in their warehouse and no one in the suplier warehouse.

Try getting a hold of a Microsoft USB Trackball optical...I dare you. Production stopped, & now trying to replace the actual ball of my trackball costs over 10 times more than the original price of the complete mouse.

Asus is responsible for the MBs not being produced anymore. As stated above, the resellers are responsible for the price jump. Barraging Asus over this is not something I would advise as a wise use of your time.

Bull the board is still in production. I have never seen a motherboard price increase over its introductory retail price. It usually works just the opposite. I think we all deserve an explanation for this.
