Well I got a follow up email asking how my experience was.... Let just say I left a letter in the comment section explaining in detail my frustration with them. The fact that I had to purchase a new PSU was my biggest gripe. I'll hang onto the old one and attempt RMA again at a latter date but the experience left me with a less than favorable image of their customer service. ![]() ![]() |

Dunno Brent, something is rotten in the state of Denmark on that one, me thinks? *edit* especially after noticing the seller has 4 feedback... Best of luck! Let us know how it turns out for you. ![]() ![]() |

Feedback of 5, you mean.....all as a buyer, too. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true! Wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a pair of new fans for the mentioned card. Definitely something not right, though. Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

Someone trying to unload some stolen merchandise, I suspect. If I had an extra 10 dollars, I might gamble on it. But I don't, so I won't. ... and still I fear, and still I dare not laugh at the Mad Man! ![]() Queen - The Prophet's Song |

I don't know either, when I first seen it there was 0 sold, 10 available. Now it's 42 sold and 5 available. He's got a boat of them it seems. But a that price it barely covers shipping... Oh well for <$13 CAD it's worth a try, and eBay is insured anyways. He hasn't accepted my payment yet. |

My guess, auction will be deleted soon, and payments returned. Justa guess. ![]() ![]() |

Yep, timing sucks. My HD7870 is on the fritz and needs to be replaced. Oh well, I will just settle for my R9-380 doing all the work until the cards come back in stock. I may just hold out until the Vega cards are mass released, so I can either get a Vega card or get an RX-580 cheaper than they currently go for. Either way will be a big improvement in GPU power. |

You bad boy Mark - cleaning them out just so you can flog 'em on a profit ;-) LOL.....'twasn't me. I'm waiting for a possible bargain on a couple of 1080s for the kitties to play with. Might not happen on the top end cards. Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ![]() |

You can set up a search on ebay for exactly the Gtx you want "buy right now" as long as you ignore anything under $100 you should get caught by the "fake" listings. I am seeing prices right about $215-$225 but the brands keep moving around. There are always ones that are higher than that but if you set the search for lowest cost+shipping and "buy it now" (or whatever) you can get daily emails on the topic. I just bought a near-new gtx 1060 3GB mini for $219 and it shipped today. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

And I am just waiting to see if I can shoehorn its power draw into my Dell Optiplex 7010. It turns out that I have a "stock" PS of 275 watts so "in theory" a Gtx 1060 3GB should run. Plus I am "watching" a 300 watt native to the 7010 ebay trying to decide if I should pick it up. All of which may make shambles of my theory that I overloaded and burned out my "original" 7010 motherboard. Instead maybe it was "feeling old"? A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |
