BFG 6800 Warranty

I'm looking for deals on the BFG 6800OC and 6800GT OC.
Is there any real reason to not buy one of these cards off eBay? I'm strongly against ebay in most cases, but since it has a lifetime warranty couldn't I get a new one if the one I recieved didn't work?

Thanks.

I just talked to BFG and they state that as long as the product. ..

>> Was not damaged while being installed.
>> Was not damaged by software or hardware from a company or individual other than BFG Technologies or by motherboard incompatibility.
>> Was operated in accordance with BFG Technologies specifications, instructions and any technical support directions.
>> Was not modified or damaged by overclocking, tampering, user error, accident, disaster, abuse, misuse, power supply, power application, alteration, repair, modification, a fix or replacement by someone other than BFG Technologies.

You should be o.k.

I found that strange as warranty is what I do for a living (warranty underwriting, not service). Normally sales through "gray market" resellers cause the warranty to be null and void. Contact them for further confirmation on their warranty policy if necessary.

P.S. Your biggest concern should be if this card was *EVER* overclocked, this does void your warranty. They are very up front about that.
 
Is there any way to 'make them think' I was the original perchaser? I've heard stories of people buying them from other people, breaking down, and geting a new/better one.
 
Again, I would contact the manufacturer if you have further questions, but when I contacted them, they stated that it didn't matter if you were the original purchaser, they would honor warranty on it as long as you didn't do the things that I posted above.

Like I said, I do warranty as my job, so I found that strange. So, call if you need further clarification.
