Hi all So I bought a used 970 on ebay , was faulty so im sending it back does have some wear on it, never buying anything used ever again!
Now im buying a brand new one from amazon as its 30 dollars cheaper and people have said amazon is safe and support is great, is that true? any other places for cheaper MSI 970 or is amazon it? I know ebay has the 15% off but their not right now and not sure if they will again or how long till they do.
Buying a MSI 970 GPU from USA Amazon Warranty for AU?

wouldn't bother unless you are getting stuff from america when its on sale or special when prices are very low
which it is not at the moment
Let me tell you a story. Bought a tablet off Amazon for $400. They entered the right address but post office took it to the shop across the street. Contacted Amazon and they immediately refunded $200 for my trouble. So yea they are pretty good

Okay…so what happened to your tablet? Did the shop across the street just keep it for free and you got a refund?
Nope. The shop gave me a call using the number printed on the shipping slip and I went over to pick it up. I contacted Amazon afterwards
OP, for the difference of $30, local support and warranty is worth it. You don't want to hassle of sending stuff back (think about needing to pack it perfectly so it doesn't get damaged in transit which could affect your warranty claim) and waiting weeks for a response.
If anything goes wrong locally, go to the shop, give them the card, you get your replacement/refund on the spot. That's easily worth $30.
Yeah $30 really isn't much.
When I got my 980ti from Amazon, I paid $750 including shipping thanks to the amex promo. Closest price for local stock was about $950. For a saving of $200, I'd gladly do it again.
Where are you comparing the prices ? Amazon VS "insert more expensive store here"
Which Model ? base ? Overclocked ? Brand ?
Cheapest Amazon model I Found
Gigabyte Mini ITX $314USD
Items: AUD 448.67
Shipping & handling: AUD 16.48
Total before tax: AUD 465.15
Estimated tax to be collected: AUD 0.00

Now from PCCG I can get one for $479 or $475 from MSY

Not including shipping as we have no details on your location
Either way I would buy locally
