Newegg is an authorized retailer and one of the highest reputable distributors of electronics anywhere in the world, not to mention free shipping and no tax in most cases. I have not heard of them endorsing or 'reselling' through disreputable 3rd parties. You can always go through Amazon direct for the exact same warranty and price @ $80-90/pr. Sounds like their Geek Squad or customer service desk is misinformed. However, in their defense, I also know Best Buy Managers can independently set their own internal pricing policy against corporate direction if they so choose. There is no such thing as a "$9 - harness" for the front speakers in a Camaro or a "$5 shop charge"
I'm all for paying someone else for peace of mind and professional work, though I usually draw the line at price gouging. Everyone's perception is different and if it's worth $275 to you, by all means - you will enjoy the new speakers.
