Well, it is a Holiday weekend, I'm not much at my PC.
I have apologize immensely to those that have felt slighted during this process.
The facts are, yes, many people were sent GS cards while they purchased a non-GS card. And yes,
many people received a non-GS card which IS what they purchased.
It was never meant to be an advertised deal, and unfortunately once word got out it DID make it more difficult for those to obtain the GS cards as the initial stock dwindled. As soon as I heard about the "deal" in the forum, I got on here to tell everyone that it was not a guaranteed deal. (Which, coincidentally, the deal was posted as to begin with)
I did try to honor requests for a GS, but, I did receive MANY more requests for a GS card that the guys on here that did not get a GS.
It was no bait-and-switch, if it was to be one, it should have been done for more profit than what it was. The Gainward card was the least expensive GT card on our site, and was priced better than most GT cards out there.
Bait-and-switch? Mark that card up to $410, promise to all that without a doubt they will get a Golden Sample, pull all the GS cards, and then make the profit while screwing everyone on the deal. We did not do that. The price of the card remained low. GS cards remained in inventory under the same item code. People received both GS and Non-GS cards.
If you feel dissatisfied with your order, contact us before bashing on Reseller Ratings.
Otherwise, I hope you've had a chance to enjoy your card during this holiday weekend! (And my Geforce2 MX card hates your 6800GT. *laughs*)
