I'd love to have that as an option, but a police officer lives a few doors away...
TBH where I live in London there's a block of flats that always reeks of weed and it's about 100m away from the local police station. If they gave a shit about personal use they probably would have done something about it in the last 12 years ;)

Probably depends on your local force and how much of a jobsworth any of them happen to be.

Was only 30 days as it was open box from ocuk.
Ack!!!

FYI, openbox gpus and cpus are typically rejects with lots of abuse. Think others binning then returning what looks like new from the outside. You don't know what kind abuse it's seen underneath.

OCF? That one?

To me if its been returned within 1 weeks time of purchase brand new, the next customer should have 30 days, then its only rma rights to maker but thats a pipedream

Best Buy gives you 14 days and they don't typically put GPUs up as open box. The clerk guy was telling me they just straight recycle them. Same for their processors. Usually they put Laptops up for sale as open box though. Those might be ok.

Nah, I was only joking. I don't smoke weed (honestly). It's bad for you, your PC, and your reaction times. Having a few pints while gaming is a lot better. :D

I assumed that b-grade or open box is just someone got it, wasn't happy and returned it. I'm too trusting.

Maybe they weren't happy because the card wasn't happy with a bazillion Volts at a hundred thousand MHz. I don't think the shop can disclose anything, and so, there's no way of knowing. It's a pretty scummy thing that they don't want to RMA it, though.

This really depends on the store and location (as in local laws), and item. I've bought a bunch of such items, all with full warranty. But if the 30 day warranty was explicit in the item description, not much to do.

Funny enough, "open box" and "refurbished" products aren't a lot cheaper a lot of times (at least here in the UK). One more reason to avoid them and go with a new one, imo.
