TigerDirect CEO Says 'We decided to discontinue the relationship [with EVGA]"

This afternoon I received an e-mail from Gilbert Fiorentino, the CEO TigerDirect, and he wanted to clear the air on the various reports regarding the reason that EVGA products are no longer being sold on TigerDirect.com. In the official statement below he states that TigerDirect pulled the plug on EVGA products due to a number of mitigating factors. It now looks like EVGA and TigerDirect both claim to be the party that called it quits. Not much else to report other than the fact that this subject has industry insiders all hot and heavy with ideas as to what it going on. As far as EVGA and TigerDirect are concerned in our books, both companies have moved on to greener pastures and neither wants to looked kicked to the curb.

TigerDirect constantly evaluates our vendor partners for maximum customer satisfaction while being able to meet the company's revenue and profit goals. While we have enjoyed a long relationship with EVGA, there are mitigating factors which make the ability to sell EVGA products prohibitive at this time and we decided to discontinue the relationship. The fact remains that we may sell EVGA products in the future. I can assure you that there is no 'mystery' beyond the above facts.
