Sketchy price on an ASUS board
I just bought this motherboard for $66 open box from newegg: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
It's $163 new so around $100 off the new price seems pretty good, maybe too good? Any ideas why it's so cheap as an open box???

Correct me if im wrong, but suppliers dont even try to get full price if the box has been opened/damaged. Even though its only the box and product is perfectly fine, most companys just jack it off cheap, i know where i work does.

I believe open box means that it doesn't include assessories like cables and such. I could be wrong though. Mako |

 Open box merely means that the seal of the box is broken, or at least the stuff in the box is accessable. it could be that its missing a few cables or so now. I think open box merely means there is no guesrantee that all the accesoires are still in the box  nevertheless.. even if it would be, still a good deal

Everything should still be in there for open box, it usually means someone RMAd it.
