ObscureEmpyreThat’s a good question, but I imagine they only send notifications for cards they’ve received and have standing by for purchase.

He said this was a shipment of stock to EVGA's distribution center.  They wouldn't sell cards through the queue that weren't already present at their distribution center.

This. Drops to the queues are for inventory in-hand.

nomoss, thanks for the heads up on this topic in the main thread.

Does EVGA have all the serial numbers? If so, perhaps PUBLISH THEM, so we'll know straight away who is trying to sell them and hopefully catch the criminals. Although I guess any cards under $950 don't count as stolen in California, just a misdemeanor.

I fully understand why registration of stolen GPUs are not accepted, but the unaware buyers suffer and not the thieves. This is so unfortunate. Hope they can find the culprit(s) and recover all of the stolen GPUs
