Hi,

 

I love hypocrites. Two months ago I bought a GTX 1080 for 380 USD. Awesome deal, but it was stolen from EVGA and I didn't know - craigslist.

Anyways, I told my buddy that I bought a GPU for 380 USD and he was like "damn man that's expensive as fuck!" 

 

 I sold my 1080 for 550 USD because I didn't like the fact that I don't have warranty on such an expensive product.

Don't worry, I informed new owner about the situation. Lucky me, because 3 weeks later 1080 TI showed up :P 

 

Last week same buddy is like: "I spent over 750 USD for beers and booze this month!". I believe him, I know how he spends his money when he go out.

 

So yeaaa... I just love damn hypocrites;) 

 

I just don't understand why spending money on PC parts which will last years is less socially accepted than spending $$ on booze or weed. 

 

Give me a break! 

 

P.S. I'm not sure if that's off topic or general discussion :(

Stupid for sure, I was just playing with quite possibly the worst team and I managed to get 37 kills in a GN2 match. Turns out the other team had a MG1 and 4 x SE's.. 

And the MG1 was the one calling cheats on me.

Nice, so? I called EVGA (because i wanted the thermal pads kit) and they told me that previous owner got a replacement with thermal pads applied, but didn't send back the old one. They felt bad for me because they had to canceled the warranty until the case is resolved ( basically dude have to pay for another one) and send me a thermal pads kit to apply on my GPU.

 

Call the cops if you want. I was the victim.

Good that you contacted EVGA about it. Just wanted to point out that possessing a stolen goods is in and of itself illegal. You might think you were the victim, but you were not according to the Canadian law.

Knowingly selling a stolen goods is probably another offense.

 

I am not going to do anything about it. Just wanted to bring that to everyone's attention so that they don't make the same mistakes.

Oh... trust me I don't want that to ever happen to me again. I made profit... true, but I was super stressed out. I would much rather get a legit 1080 and enjoy it. I will probably do it after I get a R5 1600. I sold 1080 because my 2500k (almost no fps gains over 970) was not good enough and I was to stressed out to actually use it. That's why I told the guy that was buying the 1080 from me about everything. I never intended to "scam" anybody. He was cool with it... so I sold it.

 

@Edit I just realized that I look like a hypocrite... Damn.

Classmate spends lots of money on his car. Thinks that it's totally fine. Also spends lots on beer and partying and stuff.

 

I spend like less than one sixth of what he used on car stuff an partying on computer stuff, and he just think I am stupid and don't understand why I would use the amount of money on that.

 

Like, what?

“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. 
It matters that you don't just give up.”
