I believe that BFG requires a legitimate retail receipt. If the guy isn't a retailer it will completely void any warranty.
You need to have the guy you bought it from get you the receipt from the original purchase.

When I sell BFG stuff I either make the receipt available with the GPU or stand behind the purchase and help the guy if needed.

You could always have the guy register it, and if it blows up, send it to BFG through him.

XFX is the only double warranty company.

Unfortunately if the card ever needs service, you are screwed because you don't have a receipt of original purchase.

Since the guy is not a retailer a paypal receipt won't work at all.

Fortunately, BFG stuff, like most video cards, is stout and should not fail you.

The other thing you loose out on is the BFG step-up.

Sorry to rain on your parade. Keep trying to contact the guy.;)
 
Buy the same video card at Best Buy (if they have it), scan the invoice and return the video card.

I believe the serial number of the card would be on the invoice.
It wouldn't match the card he had.
Fail.
