+2. They do a pretty decent job for refurbished merchandise. Very few places will sell open box items with as good a warranty as Newegg does.

I think you should change your thread title ... its missleading anyone who dont read it all to a simple conclusion : newegg open box are crap ... and this is wrong.
I buyed refurb, open box and many other "used item" from newegg and many other store and i never had issue. Even if this thread if 4 yrs old.

Facts are facts... Bad reviews are just a warning to others and ya, this is from a long long time ago.

Don't you love it when somebody registers out of nowhere and only makes one single post in a very old thread?

I think this was pretty well dispelled in the fourth post: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6198091&postcount=4 .
I've edited the title to make it more appropriate, mostly because of post #9.

This and the 10's of other examples of necrothreading, are why I asked repeatedly (but gave up a while ago) to have old threads auto close after XX amount of time. This site prefers its member raising the dead it seems.Don't you love it when somebody registers out of nowhere and only makes one single post in a very old thread?

while the post is bumped.... FWIW ~75% of everything i buy from newegg is open box, the only rma i have ever had to do was for some gskill ram, not open box, the sticks just died after like a week, both of them lol. but newegg replaced them free. most of the open box stuff i have bought you couldn't even tell it was open box.

I've purchased numerous OB items from Newegg and have never had a problem. The only things I've had to return were faulty (new) cables and a refurb laptop with a stuck pixel, for which Newegg paid the return shipping.

Maybe you all are much more lucky than I was… Again this was 3.5 years ago as well.
I believe an item that is actually only 'open box' will be fine, as I said before I've gotten mainboards that were fine. Those video cards were obviously used and probably damaged by the original owner. Newegg should not have put them back in circulation without testing them or at least have listed them in the actual condition which would have been "Used, Un-tested, Sold AS IS". I'm pretty sure no one would buy anything with a description like that.

...and the staff for years has never understood some people's oft-repeated problem with people posting relevant information / questions / comments in old threads.

Isn't the topic of "Buying open box" just as valid now as it was 4 years ago? The "Report post" member has made three posts in this thread this year, two are valid and one is complaining.
