I'm sure that there are some here that honestly believe posting a list of serial numbers may help people avoid making a purchase of stolen goods. Many of you are overlooking the possibility that a seller in possession of stolen goods may remove the serial number sticker from the card to avoid this very issue. With that said, I'm sure that many of you
demanding a list care little for innocent end-users and would like to see a list to count how many and which part numbers were stolen. This information, of course, would be provided to the authorities and will not be released to the public.
Remember, EVGA has no obligation to inform the public that a shipment was stolen, or inform people that there may be legal liability when purchasing a stolen product. However, by doing so, perhaps some people might think a bit harder about purchasing a card from a suspicious third-party seller and avoid that situation.
As others have said, if an unaware buyer purchases the product and goes to register it without knowing about this situation, there is little that EVGA can do to improve the situation. They are already purchasing a product from an unauthorized third-party, which bears its own set of risks. If they need to contact EVGA for service and learn about the situation, they can take further steps at that time.
Having the stolen product in their possession creates the legal problem, not when they try to register it. Being unaware of the nature of the goods is generally a legal defense if surrendered upon learning about the good's status.
If the buyer cannot obtain the serial number prior to purchase, then a list of serial numbers will not help them if they cannot compare...serial numbers. If the buyer can obtain the serial number prior to purchase, then they can use our Warranty Check page to determine the warranty status. You don't need to be logged in to use the utility or provide additional details to use the search.
If someone enters a serial number from a stolen card into our Warranty Check page, it's only going to notify them that the product is stolen, has no warranty, and direct them to this thread for more information.
