^ All i had to say is in the previous post.
I am not debating anything, especially prices unless ridiculously low or high, esp as it's a seller's market on TE nowadays. :|
There was a time when most would be more than happy if they got approx 60% of the present market price for locally bought gfx cards.
(The foreign hand has always been highly debated :lol
Only very rarely would something very new or unique would fetch a little more.
Then came a wave where some wanted 80-90% and even got away with it- rest is history and that's why we have the new changes.
And iirc, there were some who didn't get a reply to their mail like starchazer got/claimed to.
So all i am saying is unless someone has concrete proof of someone having rmaed a US-bought Sapphire card locally, a responsible and genuine person/member should not make a definite statement on the same.
I have said the same when i mentioned about some cases of US-bought Gigabyte mobos getting rmaed locally- that we cannot guarantee anything when we mention the same and can only present it as a good fortune of the concerned person.
Continuing the purpose of this thread-
How much for a 7200.10 Seagate 250GB 3.5" ide HDD?
Fresh piece (not cert. repaired iirc) from rma sometime back and lying sealed till now- opened for testing as some recently rmaed HDDs from Seagate are turning out buggy despite rma.
Warranty till Dec2010 iirc.
