980 - $230
970 - $180

The Microcenter in Denver has a pile of 970's, 770's, 760's, and a smattering of 980's in brown boxes. I only looked at the 980 and 970 pricing and, they're marked close to MSRP on the individual boxes. The system is bringing them up at $230 and $180, respectively, though. Not great, I imagine but, if you're in Denver and wanted one for SLI or something from a place that does reasonably easy returns...

About 3.5yr ago I got a GTX 580 1.5gb as a refurb from the microcenter and it's been my daily driver up till now. Squeezed 932mhz out of the core under water and benches a hair over a gtx680. Sadly the 1.5gb VRAM sseems to be holding me back now at 2560x1080 so I snagged a 980ti on clearance for $280 also have a refurb 1gb gtx460 but that only has to drive a 1680x1050 panel. So pretty much if they work out of the box you're good to go.
 
Picked up a GTX980 Poseidon from the Denver MC for $276 almost 6 months ago.
 
It seems like pricing varies by store. Also it seems like the GTX 970 Refurbished cards don't show up when you try to sort by Refurbished video cards on the web site, so they are a bit harder to find if you initially search that way. The Micro Center site has always been a bit off in that way. They don't seem to tag things correctly, and this really can apply to things like motherboards too. Sometimes I try to narrow things down when looking at their motherboards by clicking the box for a certain socket. I look things over, then later I just sort by say Intel boards, and I see something new with the socket I tried to sort by previously. It should have shown up, but wasn't tagged correctly. The whole site is that way. Nobody beats how well Newegg has things, and I don't know why. I guess nobody just puts in the time to get things done right. Yes, I know Newegg makes mistakes too, but not like everyone else.

Anyway, here are links:
