EVGA is now selling B-Stock product at a reduced cost! B-Stock simply means that customers have returned these products to us. We have tested all the products available and found that they meet or exceed their performance level. Since these are no longer "new products" we are giving you an opportunity to purchase these cards at a great price. These products will ship with a 90 day limited warranty. All B-Stock purchases are subject to a 30 day return policy.
All B-Stock products are shipped as Card/Mainboard ONLY, no accessories.
So, they tested those returns and found them to be good, which is why they are offering a 3 month instead of lifetime warranty and no accessories? disappointing.
Not to mention they are all overpriced.
There is a 4850 for 110, a 9800GT for 110$, a 9800GTX for 140, and a 4870/GTX260 @ 210$ @ newegg beating the pants off of those warranty less open boxed items price and performance at the same time, and they all have warranty and accessories.

This is not even the cheapest 9800GTX from newegg (the zotac has that honor at 140$).
But this XFX one comes with all the accessories and a double lifetime warranty (you and the person you sell it to used) for the same 160$ as the one from eVGA's site being sold as board only with no warranty.
