You seem to have a real bad impression of these cards.  I have yet to have an experience like you, and I own a boatload.

I think he may be referring to those of us who are not as lucky as you:

I hope I continue to get lucky.....all of the OEM cards I have bought from newegg work like a champ.  I don't run them hard, and have them in the open....so I am sure that helps

I might resell some of mine.  I am fairly certain I wiped out their stock.

I took 2 , should have done 4.  

I will sell em for $410 each shipped usa or if no takers replace 2 5850's I have in a rig.  It won't take long for them to pay off.

i recently got a reference 5870 refurb and it was a mess.   After some new thermal paste i dropped 23C plus now the fan runs at 36% instead of 70%.

Probably just a few that people sent back because there used or broken, and newegg just posts them up as brand new again.

Actually newegg is one of the places that does NOT seem to do this.  They sell the open box ones as separate listings.  Bensoutlet.com sold a bunch of the factory refurbished about a month ago, and those were not so consistent as the new ones I have bought from newegg.

The demand is insatiable.  I ordered AS SOON as the auto notify got to my mailbox.  Must have made it just under the wire.....they were gone when I went back to look at the item page. 
and now you're selling them for $400+

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

There is a lot of resentment for smart business sense on this forum.

Anyway, I'm actually selling some older ones.  As well as 5850's, 5870's, and 6970's.

Maybe you can make an offer......

That was true a few days ago, but maintaining your asking price in the wake of the 7950s @ $450 probably isn't a wise move.
