Suggest you double check going rates, but good to see not proffitting from the current mess

Ah yes, just want quick sale. Just thought a 3070 is too much for my son's gaming needs. Will invest it on other parts instead.

If the warranty is transferrable I may be interested.

When I read your comment I was thinking 'Of course it is!'. Then I did some digging and it turns out ASUS only covers the warranty for the original purchaser. Thanks for bringing it up. I will just return it to Playtech for store credit if that's the case. I didn't want to do that at first as the items I want to buy from them are out of stock, guess I'll just have to wait.

They will sell for at least $100 more than you paid. Its in demand product if not open don't accept paying a restocking fee.

As an aside, would anyone happen to know if that Asus original purchaser warranty thing would get past the CGA ?

Before you buy, it is a good idea to:

 

  • see if the products have a current manufacturer’s warranty that you can take over

 

 

Seems maybe not?

I would have thought that if its guaranteed for a year, its guaranteed for a year, but as you say, seems not. Oh well, just wondering.

Manufacturer vs retailer are different warranties..

 

Playtech would need to repair it if it broke within 12 months...

Actually, they would need to repair it for a good while longer than that. CGA applies. Assuming not overclocked or used outside it's intended purpose, it needs to be fit for purpose for a reasonable period of time, and 1 year isn't reasonable for a $1600 video card.
