The judge of whether the cards are valued right are if they'll sell.

I would say not considering you can pick up an infinite black for £281 new with full warranty, so a smidge more that the lower level Galax card, or £40 cheaper than the EVGA B-stock...

But there you go! Who's to say! Some people might still see them as a bargain!

OcUK are treading on thin ice too, all B grade cards are advertised having their full 2/3/5 year warranties in the product descriptions too-despite OcUK's 90 day warranty.:eek:

It's being reported that 970's returned to manufacturers will be sold as new so the customers won't know, some will get a fully raggedguaranteed gpu anyway.

Surely that's a big no no legality wise ?,dumping used cards back in the chain this way is a sure fire way to get more bad publicity.

It might be breaching laws but you've got to be pretty naive to believe that it doesn't happen a lot in online retail, worst case scenario the buyer suspects it's not new and with no solid evidence returns it, eventually it'll be sold to a buyer that's non the wiser. It's not like you can take them to court as any wear and tear can be blamed on you, probably need to film yourself receiving/opening it to have any sort of legal case and even then it's not going to worth taking them to court.

I'm sure there's a GALAX GTX970 in that list that's the same price as a brand new one in "This Week Only". Even if the brand new one wasn't on offer this week, it would only cost about a fiver more.

Mmmm, pay the same price (or maybe just a few £ less) for a returned item with 3 months warranty, or choose the one with a full 2 years warranty that hasn't been opened ?

It's a tough one.

You mean the product description in a big red box below the disclaimer that said description is there for reference only and any mention of warranties is to be ignored? :P
