I've seen that a lot, got burned a few times. The old part gets put away in the box the new part came in, whether it was dead or working. Bought a sealed (by thrift store) soundblaster box, had a game card in, bought a wireless card in box, had the old 10Mbit NIC in, bought a powercolor box (looked like it should have some variety of radeon) had a 6326 in.
I actually came out slightly better on that before, bought a PCI ESS-based sound card box and inside was an ISA SB16 Vibra card.
