  I didn’t know it was owned by a Chinese company, nor publicly traded

  Newegg was established in California by Fred Chang in 2001, but Lianluo acquired a majority stake in the privately held company in 2016. By 2021, it had merged with Beijing-based Lianluo Smart Limited, with the company being renamed Newegg Commerce, Inc., finally taking it public. At the moment, Lianluo currently owns 54.5% of Newegg.

  Did newegg fall off maybe 10 years ago? I remember remembering them back in the day but haven’t thought of that site in a long time.

    I buy server drives from them still. Well I did. Before everything kind of went a little crazy. But yeah they are a shadow of what they once were.

    They’ve been shit since they got bought out.

    I’ve only bought from them twice since then, and both times have been awful.
