    So people are paying for what are essentially broken, burned up cards? If they're $25 i can understand, but if a card can't mine, that's destroyed a huge portion of its ability to do anything useful...

    No, we're essentially "binning" them ourselves. We're not using them till they burn up and tossing them, we test every one extensively before putting it into service. If it's a lemon unit and doesn't mine well that doesn't mean it won't game well and operate fine. If we find any legitimately broken cards they get RMA'd.

    Bitcoin mining is not kind to gaming cards. But w/e. You guys better sell with a 90-day warranty when you sell them or something.

    They're resold with full warranty as they were not given to customers and were used "In-Store". Being a large hardware retailer gives us some leeway with supplier and manufacturer RMA and warranty stuff. By the time we've determined a card isn't "for us" it has only been mining for less than 8 hours.

    Well, if they're sold at a reduced price with a disclaimer, I guess it's fine. I know of some retailers that do similar things with CPUs; they stress-test them all and keep the best performers for their own prebuilts, selling the rest off as new. I'd never buy from such a company.

    Yeah, i'd never buy from a company like Lancer's if I knew about it.
