>and NewEgg picks a motherboard which is marked as damaged in their inventory system, and ships it to GN.

I imagine Newegg have a large inventory, but they would have to match the exact motherboard with the one Steve bought, and with some sort of CPU pin/socket damage. And the reason Steve accidentally bought an open box in the first place was due to the limited stock of that particular motherboard. So I'm not sure that this holds true.

>6. GN wants the motherboard returned, too.

Also I'm pretty sure Steve requested the motherboard back _before_ they then got the refund.



Steve just wanted his money or a working board.


They wouldn't have to match it, just pick one out of an RMA pile and damage it the way they described.
