GTX 1080 Possibly Opened Before?

[thewalleprod]

So I found a great deal on Amazon last week for the EVGA 1080 FTW2 card. It was listed at $589.99 sold by Amazon.com Services Inc. Condition was listed as "New". This was the last one in stock they had at this price. The next day I saw that the price of it jumped up to $659.99. I got it yesterday and when I opened the Amazon box, I saw that there was no shrink wrap on the EVGA box and also the taped seals on the sides of the box looked like it was taken off and then just taped on the inside so you could just slide the box holding the GPU out (this was only on one side of the box). The GPU was in the anti-static bag with the yellow tape on. I looked at the GPU and it was very clean, no scratches or anything, fans didn't look like they had dust or any scratches. Only thing I didn't look at was the PCIe pins to see if it was inserted into a slot before. I emailed EVGA and Amazon and the only thing Amazon can do is refund me the money back and can't send me a replacement.

Any suggestions on how I should go on about this?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X3QRQJR/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This was the link for the order. Except prices have changed since last week.

Ships from and sold by Maximus Prime.

No. That is because the current shipper and seller is Maximus Prime. When I ordered it, it was Amazon.

Then let Amazon deal with it like they already offered.

Then buy from another site like New Egg or B&H etc.

Is B&H legit and quality? I've never ordered from them

Yes, one of the best most respected one around.

Here you go:

Awesome, thank you very much for the info. I just ordered the one off of B&H + one day shipping. Going to return the one from Amazon.

There you go.

Yeah, I just noticed that now - and now I'm also questioning the other one I saw, but didn't save the link...



new pet peeve: AMAZON, put the "Sold by" right under the product, and/or maybe say "manufactured by" instead of just "by"
