You still have one more to remove from another post.
Good spot, thanks
Ok thank you, so point proven not from a retailer, but sold by people that purchased them before. Basically ex-mined cards or cards purchased to scalp. The invoice is useless as you need to be the person named on it with the same address, only EVGA will transfer warranty to next buyer (retailer that the EVGA card was purchased from will have nothing to do with it and refuse it) and EVGA wants nothing to do with the UK customers anymore if you know anything about what is going on with EVGA in UK and the EU.
I can sell you a card with an invoice too but I will be honest and let you know that if you need to RMA the card you will have to come back to me to do it for you, otherwise you have no warranty and an invoice that proves you are not the original buyer if you decide to RMA it.
No retailer will honour the warranty of a item sold on to another person that wasn't their customer for that item, the original customer has to do it with the retailer or the company that made the item if they allow RMA.
I feel like I'm talking to kindergarden aged people that don't live in the real world.

The 4 cards I mentioned were New & sealed, also are you labeling yourself a old
godfather?
Don't sit on front of a monitor and waste life on the forum, get your real life sir.

SO ?
I can also seal up a box and make it look like it wasn't opened and how do you know cards were sealed from the company that make them ? Most are not sealed and just in a box and the anti static bag may not have a sticker on it too, I buy a lot of computer equipment every year for work and clients and have seen new items never having any seals on them for equipment that costs many thousands of pounds for a single PCIe device, no seals.
BUT...
again if not purchased from a retailer and you are not the person named on the invoice and address then there is no warranty, the warranty is with the original person that purchased it, even if new it could be DOA the item, out of the box not working, then what ? As you must have seen the guy that purchased a 3090 GigaByte blower card, he purchased it this way and now broken and they refuse the RMA...

This is bad advice buying a card this way as you or others will end up like the person above. Only EVGA will allow warranty transfer to the new buyer.. But that is also up to them if they take the card for RMA or they get it and can refuse it saying something was done to it by you, but reality is the person you purchased it from broke it, probably while trying to water cool it and broke some components on it but still seems to work, then later it fails in your hands. Then was it a good deal ? Come on only person that will say yes is a person selling cards. Reality is you have no idea what has happened to the cards, they can say new sealed or whatever on them, but unless you purchased it from a retailer, then you have no proof and as we have seen scalpers and ex-miners will tell you anything you want to hear to sell to you, I only used it once or opened it to make sure it worked before selling you it, I am bored of gaming now or played all the games I want now, that's why I'm selling... Never mined on honest....
Also your post is confusing before, if the starred retailer is selling them direct to you then, they are sold as new with an invoice to you (your name and address on the invoice) so there is warranty of course. IF the item was sold by that retailer to some other customer that is now selling them to others that retailer even with the original customers invoice will refuse the new buyer the warranty as that person was not their customer for that item.

Because that poor guy didn't ask for the original invoice, just don't waste both of our time, find your real life.
I am sure someone else gonna teach you how to read a SN number to find out manufacture date.
I won't worry about other people can't get their warranty.
Go live in the real world.. I am probably older than your parents
and have been in I.T for over 3 decades and know how it works thank you. Just stop with the bad advice to others that may not understand why it's a bad idea to purchase an expensive item that has no warranty even with the invoice from the previous owner and funny part is if they lie and pretend to be the person on the invoice and get told later sorry the card can't be replaced or repaired ... so we refunded to the original payment method ..Respect your elders .. especially the ones wiser than yourself..
Yes because that says a lot about you and your principles... Which I worked out already
.. Welcome to OCUK a community where most of us here try to help each other out.. Maybe not for you these forums, all you have posted about is other retailers and people selling on cards and naming the sites everytime. Guessing you are here to advertise you are selling cards on these places ..That needs removing too that's also a competitor (in red), this forum as you know I'm sure is run by a retailer called overclockersUK, so no other retailers allowed to be mentioned or selling anything outside of the members market here. So just a heads up.

Be aware of gigabyte second hand cards !!!
Gigabyte will **** on You.
For me ONLY NEW or second hand EVGA with transferable warranty at this point.
Gigabyte will not even take a paid attempt to repair this card, the warranty claim was rejected processing fee charged an a whole lot of added
The journey uncovered a fatal component flaw that ALL GIGABYTE 3090 & 3080 are pron to.
Local Guy @ repair shop had like 100+ 3080/3090 cards to repair. Around 50 Gigabyte @the time that I Was his customer.
- the same story other country.

I see why this country is getting worse off in last decades.
I know mate, this is why I am warning people not to fall into this trap. I have seen it many times over sadly over the decades.
But as you see above posts some people don't care if someone like yourself got sadly in this mess and in the worst time for you when you need the card for study too.
Good luck with your thesis and try not to worry about the card for now, it can be repaired as you know, so once studies are over worry about getting it repaired then, also a lot of people that do these repairs are probably stuck at home still because of Covid. I am a little shocked GigaByte wouldn't repair it if you paid for the repair.

My first ever purchase was from a computer fair, AMD K6+MOBO+RAM, mobo ended up being dead, never managed to catch up with the guy to get it replaced.. retail only ever since, guess I was lucky to learn the lesson early.

Yep eBay and Facebook are flooded with them. Seems everyone and there mother is selling there gpus or whole systems
I want a 3080 but wont be paying over 650 for it.
The year is 2022. Smokey26 finally gets a 3080 for £650. Meanwhile, others have used such GPU's since September 2020 and have had the best PC gaming experience during the long lockdown months
Several weeks later, the 4080 launches, heralding a new era of performance.
Shops pay TAX and provide a warranty service. The "Blackmailer, drug dealer, scammer and scalper" are nothing more than an undesirable parasite on society.
