Yesterday evening, benegeri and I met at a parking lot in his area to make the exchange. He brought the Sapphire 7950s and I brought cash.
I opened up the box of a random 7950 - it was the right card and it was brand new and in pristine condition. We then completed the transaction and I loaded up the nine cards into the back of my car:

These are well worth it at his prices. Sure, you may be able to find them used on eBay for a bit less, but unless you know a supplier or have a few tricks up your sleeve you're not going to get new 7950s for much less than that in any significant quantity. It's great having the warranty and it's refreshing to know that you aren't going to need to spend hours fixing or tweaking used cards bought individually from sellers (who wants to spend hours purchasing 1 or 2 cards from a lot of sellers? It's a whole lot easier and safer to just purchase in bulk from one or two people).
We also discussed how he is able to purchase them at a good price - everything completely checks out and what he is doing makes perfect sense. The last thing I would ever expect him to do is rip people off, because he has a viable enough an business plan for the time being.
I can fully vouch for benegeri - he's easy to do business with, has great communication, and ships/delivers fast (I think he even already shipped out the 15 GPUs for the other guy). I'd be flat out shocked if anyone has issues of any nature when purchasing from him.
