*LIMIT 1 PER CUSTOMER PER DAY

So if you plan on doing the crossfire thing with it you better have a friend buy one for you or you gotta wait a day and better hope they are still in stock the next day 😉

Well it was good for those who say this earlier for it jumped $20 now to $179.

I''m pretty sure that your 8800GTS will outperform the Radeon X1950pro. You couldn't have been worrying about the price when you bought the 8800, that's for sure. 😉

Open Box: Means it was returned to the store and the store is re-selling it. Think of it as Used.

Refurb; Means it was returned to the manufactured because of a defect or customer had issues with it or other hardware. Could of been repaired by manufacture or 2nd party and is resold.

OEM: Original Equipment Manufacture. Overstock usually of stuff that say dell or HP, or Compaq for example would of gotten but had too much of. And example of a OEM sale would be THIS. Not Used or Re manufactured or Refurb, but brand new. May come with everything a retail box would or may come with absolutely nothing but the unit in question, but in the end it is a NEW product, just less goodies come with it is all and a cheaper price.

None of these situations for me would stop me from buying a product if it had a return policy for a DOA, and the price was right. If I had the funds Id be all over this myself and buying two for the crossfire thing.

thanks for the detailed explanation fun :beer:

i'd mostly be concerned about refurb's if it were a gpu/cpu as some of people return them if they don't clock well :roll: and i don't want to find out how hard they tried.

Generally your going to know right away or within a day or two if thats the case because when you get it its going to not post or show a garbled picture right away. One of the first things I do with a refurb graphics card is remove the HSF. If it still has the original goop on the GPU then chances are it was never messed with. If it has gobbs of the stuff or hardly anything at all first thing I do is put on the proper amount of stuff and test the card right away. Thats why it has the 15-30 day warranty on it. If its messed up return it ASAP.

Again if the price is right its worth it for me to take the chance on this stuff and so far I have never been burned. If this was a AS IS deal I wouldn't of posted it but it has a 1 year warranty so its a damn good price with a decent used warranty IMO so well worth posting.

Or in this case a 30 day even return for non doa as well (15% restock for NON doa though, typical)

Limited Warranty: One year from invoice date with Directron.com. 30-Day money back from receiving date with 15% restocking fee for non-defective returns. No credit or refund after 30 days. Customer is responsible for returning defective products including DOA due to manufacturer unless testing is paid before shipping.
 
This is open box because this is the cards that they used for the CPL tournament in Dallas (I went to it!). Directron is based in Houston and sponsored the event by providing the computers. So this would be the video cards that were used at the 5 day event. So open box, yes, but I highly doubt they are damaged at all.

OH so thats the event they mentioned in the link. Thanks for the heads up. 5 days on these cards running stock at the event is nothing for them then 😉 Can pretty much almost still call them new. Damn I wish I had the money, Id be all over a cheap 939 crossfire mobo and 2 of these.

The most recent new ones sold on eBay were (including shipping price):

$183
$198.50
$197.50
$192.50
$160.50

A *possibility* of a moderate profit on selling this card, but also a possibility of making nothing, especially when some from this current deal hit the market. I'd buy it if I needed it personally, but not to sell.

I'm confused, isn't this card normally $180 brand new?

Well you did prove that they are cheaper buying them right from Directron's website then buying them off their ebay link. And they offer a better warranty when you buy them off the site then off ebay as well for they show on ebay as AS IS and more money.

As for E-Wiz, that looks like a good price for new and OEM and NON ATI, but the egg is showing the for the ATI version to be $215 +$6 shipping.

Now correct me if Im wrong but Directron is selling open Box ATI versions not refurbs, or other makers, so they should still come with ATI's 3 year Warranty because of them being open box cards. Sapphire last I remember gives jsut a 1 year warranty (may be wrong but last time I had one it was just one year), so your buying Like new ATI built cards with 3 year warranty's that were used, according to another post that went to the demo in TX, for only 5 days so your getting one hell of a hot deal on barely used, for sure to almost 100% not of been abused or over clocked, cards for over $50 off.

Seems hot to me 😉

NM Looks like ATI went 1 year as well, still $50 cheaper 😛

I guess the point being, no one is going to make a profit on eBay with these, good deal none-the-less, but they aren't worth the $250 someone earlier posted.
