I purchased a Nvidia GTX 1080 video card from some 3rd party seller. The price was a bit lower than MSRP but not by much.
It arrived in a high-quality box, and looked good. I was initially suspicious because the video outputs didn't match what was advertised, and I had purchased monitor cables based on the outputs I believed the card would have. But the card itself looked OK to someone who didn't know what to look for.
I posted some pictures to Reddit, and they helped me figure out what was going on:

I had a really bad time getting Amazon to process the return because it was through a 3rd party.
