I don't know if every microcenter has this card for sale, but the microcenter in my area has a 8 gb GTX 1080 FE for sale under $400 (I think $379.99 to be exact).  The only issue is that it is a refurbished card.  It gives with a small, 90 day warranty (which is better than nothing).  

 

Does this sound legit, or is it too good to be true?  Should I just spend the extra $150 for a new one?

I mean, if it is at a microcenter why not. Ask to see how it used before, like if it was oced, etc.

I think there is no problem in buying it, ask about the gpu, personally I don't like FE editions for their cooling but eh 150$ on top is a lot
