Re: Newegg Open Box items?


What's your luck with Newegg Open Box items? In your experience,
what percentage are defective beyond expected usability?

I got a video card and a motherboard. They both had the accessories and all.
The video card was returned for a reason as games would crash so I had to
return. I got a great ASUS P5B-Plus motherboard for cheap. The video card
was not working on and off. I looked in the PCIe slot as saw a sticker stuck
in the contacts. Pulled it out and the motherboard has been working great
since.
