[BurningDog]

ADDITIONAL PRODUCT INFORMATION: REFURBISHED / 7-DAY RETURN

definately not a bad price at all tho

 

[fibes]

There is only 1 in stock. Does anyone want to take a chance?

 

[cringe]

FYI - Card plays UT2k4 well

 

[sheltem]

Still the best card in the midrange (9600, GF 5600/5700, etc.)

 

[pxc]

Their stock isn't real-time, so it's probably long (over)sold. Was a good deal though.

Bare card .... no adapters, box, manuals, power cord, etc. Most real 'refurbs' have a warranty too... 7day warranty = restock = someone else's crap.

 

[konakona]

being a somewhat outdated card, tis prolly better off gettin a second hand from another ATOTer...

Bah!!! Almost bit, but the $8.37 shipping charge killed it for me. I think I can hold out a little longer for the 9800's to come down in price and then not have do deal with RMA hassle.

I bought one from DG about 4 months ago for about that price. Bare is bare. It didn't even come with the power connector. It didn't work, obviously, and since I didn't know it required a separate power connection I figured it was defective. So I sent it to ATI for warrenty repair and they exchanged, no questions asked, for one that came with a power connecter thingy attached! Hey what's this thing dangling from the card? A uick internet search told me the obvious: It was the previously missing power connection...great concept... a power connector included!

It is a great card for the money.

Beware about ordering from Dumpinggoods.com. I bought a refurb 9500 standard from them a few weeks ago. It was DOA. I e-mailed them about getting an RMA number without response. I e-mailed them again and they replied and gave me an RMA number. I sent them the package and put it out of my mind. I get my credit card bill last week and they haven't credited me. I e-mailed them and once again they didn't reply. $70 down the drain.

lsimpson50: the first 9500 you had was in fact DOA. If it was just not having the floppy power connector plugged in, it would have booted up with a message on the screen telling you to plug it in.

It's called a charge back.

Learn it, live it

 

[wpngscrs]

I'm not going to dispute the charge so soon. I might just have to e-mail them again like I did before. The moral of the storry was that dumpinggoods.com has bad customer service and you should be wary of ordering from them.

This site is very suspicious. They'll always show some fantastic product like a 9700 pro for like 76 bucks or something refurb, but OOS. Then they'll have like a FX 5200 for like 142 but in stock. Yeah, right - like people aren't going to smell the bait and switch from a mile away... :roll:

It's not bait and switch (please look it up so you know what it actually means), but their site is frustrating since inventory isn't real-time. Even if you order something cheap, it might be OOS.

The earlier threads about dumpinggoods here recommended calling them to order (and several people did get pretty good deals shipped to them). I saw a $40 5200 last night and various other cheap video cards, but who knows if any are actually in stock.

Perhaps there's a disconnect here because you don't know what they're actually doing. Most people who visit the site because of a deal they see advertised here or elsewhere don't end up getting it for that price.

This is because they conveniently, don't offer inventory in real time, or more likely, never had it to begin with. They will offer however, also conveniently for the stray customer's perusal, the occasional 85$ 9200...

And yeah - if you think a 5200 is worth even 40 bucks, I'd suggest you consider the wonderful world of onboard video... Otherwise, with all the BS naming schemes from nVidia and ATI, the only thing worth getting separately are the FX 5800 Ultra and up, or the 9700 pro and up... No SE's, LE's, FX - XT's... or junk like that.

Dude...

Do you even bother reading what you post on the off chance it doesn't make any sense whatsoever? Perhaps you shoulda been held back from the fifth grade just one more time...

Why didn't you just use one of the connectors off your PSU? The connector you were missing is just a passthru cable.

 

[huesmann]

Maybe you didn't get the part where he didn't know it needed a separate power connector.

Reading for comprehension.
