It is wrong and the warranty extension must follow the product.
Here in Greece many stores give an extension of warranty that the next owner can use it normally.
 
When someone sends a card to EVGA, EVGA should look at the serial number basis if the card has a normal warranty or an extension warranty and not who sent the card for repair.



EVGA Extended Warranty does NOT transfer with the card:  "All Extended Warranty purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable." (https://eu.evga.com/warranty/extended/)

It would seem that the US and EU extended warranty conditions differ as the US version does not state that it is non-transferable, only that it is non-refundable.

If it is as you say then I will never get a warranty extension from EVGA because I never keep anything for more than two or three years I upgrade to new series and sell my used ones.

This feels like victim blaming on behalf of EVGA. If I buy a stolen card and I don't know it's stolen, that makes me a victim too! Buying second hand or even 'new' from any site these days is not unheard of given the short supply of these cards. I've been trying since May to buy any RTX 3060. The closest I've gotten is walking into a store only to have the card sold 10 minutes before I got there (no phone holds!). If I pay regular price or more online for a card, how am I suppose to know it's stolen? Now that EVGA knows these cards have been stolen, they should either publish the serial numbers or make a page available where serial numbers can be entered to see if they are valid. That way I can ask an eBay seller to send me a picture of the serial number and I can check to see if it is stolen. Problem solved. With the low supply, these cards could also end up on the shelf of a local computer store, they aren't always the most reputable.
 
Possession of a stolen good is only illegal (at least in Canada) if I am in possession of it KNOWINGLY. A reasonable person would have to have reason to believe the card is stolen. No one is paying below market value for these cards. No one is going to know these cards are stolen. The scalpers are making sure of that with there inflated prices. Even sites like Newegg are allowing scalpers to sell at inflated prices.
 
EVGA is certainly alienating me as a customer, just reading through these forums have made me think twice. I guess that's my fault, too?
 
What a crappy post to read this morning, being scolded and warned that possession of stolen property is illegal. Thanks for the legal advice, not like anyone here would know they purchased a stolen card anyway.

No salesperson who knows he is selling a stolen product will give you a serial number

Wow I just read this post and I hope the persons involved get the max time. Just like some other real gamers I've been on the queue since early march and just like others I will not pay scalper prices. I still have the 1660 twin fan that was purchased earlier this year because of the gpu shortage.

You just enter a serial number. EVGA has no personally identifiable info on you if you are logged out and use a vpn (for all the tin hatters out there).

If a seller doesn’t give you a SN, don’t buy it. Easy.

Sometimes a stern warning is needed to draw attention to important messages. The fact that this thread is getting so much attention and strong response tells me that their mission is accomplished.

Buy safe out there… and good luck on your hunt.

EVGA is one of the few graphics card companies that provides warranties for products that are not purchased from an "authorized reseller".

You can even get warranty on items purchased *used*...from random people.

Expecting them to cover stuff that was STOLEN seems like some seriously entitled BS.

They have every right to blacklist stolen products. Heck they have every right to use restrictive warranty policies like their competitors, but they don't. They *already* offer the best warranty terms that I know of....now.

Expecting them to do even more and cover stolen stuff is a bridge too far. WAY too far.

Regarding transferable warranty, there is one very important part that you've all overlooked: 
 
"The length of the Transferable Limited Warranty is determined by Product according to the suffix associated with each Product's identification number as set forth below and will be measured beginning from the Product's original date of shipment from an EVGA online store, EVGA's official eBay store, or EVGA's official Amazon Marketplace store [....]"
 
If a product is stolen before it is sold by EVGA directly through our online stores (including sales to our channel partners), there is no date of shipment, which means there is no beginning date to the warranty period for a product.
