Hmm the ES board is owned by AMD and on loan to someone. This person probably passed it on to the eBay seller, which still makes it AMD property. So technically it's stolen property?

Shouldn't be different than buying an iPhone off craiglist

:roll:

How so? :confused:

The card is under an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement until...:D), and ES samples if labeled as such cannot be sold anyway. At least Intel/AMD CPUs are that way...

AMD told me the card can be sold. They actually looked at the listing on Ebay while on the phone with me.

The person is able to sell that card and not get in any trouble for doing so.

AMD told you that? Who from AMD? I have never seen a company break their OWN NDA... seriously... I call shens on that shiz!

EDIT: Saw your edit.. a customer service rep likely hasnt a clue of that card, or its NDA date or anything. B O L O G N A. LOL!

The iphone that is being sold isnt a pre release, under NDA sample in your example, right?

I dont know, I wouldnt do it.. but then again we are a small website compared to here so burning bridges isnt something we can afford to do! :laugh:

NDA is just a contract between two parties, if you didn't sign it, it doesn't apply to you.

You're more than free to call them if you like :)

So SOMEONE may get hung for this, but not the dude selling it... semantics. :)

We dont know if the seller is 3rd party or not.. a lot of assumptions.

No thanks. Not talking to some CSR muppet that doesnt have a clue (err perhaps less of a clue than I), but thanks. :toast:

I would imagine if AMD had an issue with that listing it would be pulled by now or it will be pulled soon, No?

Who knows... doubtful. Plenty of ES CPUs being sold that shouldnt be sold. So really no clue on if/when that may/may not get pulled.

Question is when will they surface in stores?

Bidding is up to $890, ~5 days to go.. It'll reach $4,000 my guess and right before the bid closes, Newegg will have it listed for $1200, lol

On Apr-16-13 at 12:48:28 PDT, seller added the following information:
Enter the history books and be the first person in the world to own this breathtaking piece of American engineering.

If you look at the bid history, it's a whole lot of people with low feedback and with zero feedback. My guess the winning bidder won't pay.

That's how ebay works sometimes, minion accounts that inflate the price.

See. People here have a habit of passing false info.

I was right. It's the companies property given to you for testing.

Thank You Wizz for sharing that info.

One good thing about eBay (and about the only ...now):

If you received an item that is not as described or didn't receive an item at all, eBay Buyer Protection always protects you, even if the seller does not offer returns.

If you know the right people on Facebook, the reason the price is stuck there is that eBay requires special contact to be made to bid $100,000. I guess the joke bids stop here!

It would be far more exciting to see a review of the 7990 from you. :toast:
