Of course you could, the question is that is it illegal and will you get caught? ;)

Technically yes, legally probably (might need to work that out with BFG).

A lot of stores have their own "house brand" which is nothing more then repackiged hardware from a manufacturer. Usually all thats changed is the package, all the original stickers are still there (eg Sony sticker on a CD drive). Most include some small manual too usually.

You wont make any money doing so though (unless you can get some very special deals)...

You'd probably do better with someone like Thresh or Fatal1ty- I doubt anyone outside AT knows who I am?

At the very least, people might interpret it as endorsed by that candy, and who wouldn't like a video card endorsed by caramel and chocolate?

actually i think legally he can.

if you take the bfg stickers off, do no include and bfg cds. why not? its you card,

it would be one thing if u were buying cheap 3dfuzion cards, and labeling them something better. but his taking someone elses card and putting his stickers on it. sounds fine with me.
