Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Check your local craigslist.. Here where I am I see a few come here and there, very lightly used...
Most of the ones getting rid of there's is because they are big apple fans that thought they could make the switch. I've already flipped a few and kept the one I got for cheapest @ $100 16GB, still had plastic wrap on it.
IMO, Refurbished or buying one locally, it's the same shiet...
