Hi! I bought a G400 Max here in Romania for $240 a few months ago, from a guy who claimed he had brought them from Canada. Now it turns he’s selling a whole bunch of Matrox cards for unbelievable prices: the G400 Max for $130, the G400 32MB DH for $120, the G400 32MB SH for $100, the G200 Marvel for $100 and the Millennium G200 8MB for $50. He’s even got a nice stock of cards. Oh – and he brings absolutely any Matrox hardware, including the professional ones (but you have to order them first). The condition is the same as when I bought my card: a 7 days money-back guarantee (no papers signed, you have to take his word for it but I have a friend whose card was replaced so he’s OK).
I have absolutely no explanation for this. False credit cards used to be a common thing in Romania. Now that the legislation is uncompromising in this respect, however, almost nobody has the guts to use them anymore. Not to mention SELL products obtained with false credit cards or other similar means. I’m totally at a loss.
Now, I’ve been longing for a G400 for my second system. Do you think it would be MORAL for me to get the card from him, no questions asked?
And now for an absolutely unrelated question: is it moral for a company to claim to offer things that it does not offer – like out of the box OpenGL drivers, or technical support?
