BFG Tech Sending Out RMA Denial Letters, 'Winding Down Business'

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-that's-a-good-excuse dept.

SKYMTL writes "Once one of NVIDIA's primary board partners, BFG Tech has now officially started denying RMA requests for their supposedly 'lifetime warranty' graphics cards. According to a letter from BFG, they are '...winding down business' and are 'unable to replace' any non-working product. A sad turn of events for the thousands who bought BFG's graphics cards and power supplies."

    Apparently the company itself did not have a life-time warranty.

      It's only illegal if you do it within a certain timeframe. My Grandmother transferred all of her assets to my Mother years before she died. Then she went on a spending spree with her credit cards. She passed away with $60,000 worth of credit card debt. The banks weren't able to collect a dime from her estate or go after the people that she transferred her assets to.

      It's all about estate planning. Do it right and your creditors won't see a dime.

    That's the problem with a BFG, it's got a lot of firepower but you might end up killing yourself.

    I purchased a nice pony-tail holder from at artist at a fair once. He wrote on the back of the card: "Lifetime Warranty. Mine, not yours. " :)

    Wait, what's wrong with pets in the microwave? Will it hurt the oven?

    You don't get the same crispy texture you would on the grill.
