Is it bad idea to use the sealed box method for new releases especially when supply will be very scarce?
I think i'll have no problem getting my money back, but my worry is that it'll come back to me easily. My theory is that I'm the only person that will return a GPU within launch, it goes back to stock and resold to someone else straight away as they're so sought after the other person will report the wrong GPU. After which, the retailer will check if that GPU was returned, see it was the only one returned and link it back to me as the person who returned it, suspecting fraud.
Am I worried about nothing? Would like to hear if anyone has tried to SE products when they just came out and very hard to get.
I think SB is patched with most retailers like amazon etc. who are you hitting?
