    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    THANK YOU Shzitt! I forgot to tell you that- appreciate it man! I never thought I'd have a brand new card the very next day!

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    I recieved the replacement card already- shipped next day air via UPS and if it's not a new card I'll eat my cat for dinner! Not a mark on it! It's as close to new as I could ever hope to get from a brand new boxed sale. AND a return shipping label too! Now that's what I call customer service...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    Got a very nice reply from Mr. Malley a little while ago. I replied back asking if the replacement would be a new card. Waiting to hear. >Hello again- Thank you for your fast reply, but I just wanted to clarify. It's not the scuffs >and markings that bother me. Rather, it's having paid full...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    I do see your point. It's honestly just a little hard to take when I know I didn't damage the card. I can see it from the company's POV but cmon. Why do they charge significantly less for refurbished cards then? Because they are not new and subsequently seen as less valuable. I paid $300 for a...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    You mean tell John Malley how great you guys all think that configuration is? I wish I knew more aobut it- I haven't been too up on video card hardware lately- The last cards I heard you could do that with (aside from these) were the Monster Voodoo 2's- I always wanted to sli a couple but could...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    I know what you mean, and I did think of that so on that count, as I said, i am happy I got a BFG card, but I still don't think I should have had to pay full price for a refurbished card. I did just send an email to John Malley explaining the situation to see if there is anything he could...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    My thoughts exactly. How on earth would I make a profit from a day old dead card?

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    I bought it from Outpost.com so I guess they'll be pretty good about a return (at least I think they will)- I've heard some not so good stories very similar to that about Best Buy.

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    that is standing behind their product to a certain extent, but when I pay full price I expect a brand new functioning card in replacement if it dies through no fault of my own (I know it wasn't my fault- I'm seriously paranoid about static shock and following procedures)- at least for a decent...

    BFG = full price for refurb cards

    No- they did RMA it for me but they wouldn't send a new card- all they would do was send a refurb card. It was pretty obvious it was a refurb too judging by scuffs and whatnot on the card itself. I heard really good things about their company too so I was pretty surprised that that was the...
