New MB from Amazon, but warranty expired. Why?

[guitrldy]

Hello!  I just purchased a new ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570 ATX Motherboard via Amazon.  When I went to register it with Asus, I see "warranty expired".

I didn't buy a used board, this is a new board.

Can this please be explained?  Thanks!

Check the reputation of the seller, does the card appear new when unpacked according to appearance and smell (new ones have a slight peculiar smell).
Or ask Asus support if they have removed the warranty from outdated cards even if they are purchased new.

Well, that sure is disappointing.

I followed the "where to buy" link from Asus's page for this board thinking I'd be dealing with an Asus sale on Amazon.  That is confusing and now it's a big ole waste of my time since I spent the day yesterday installing it!

Ugh, I'm already dealing with a crappy Alienware system that Dell replaced with a refurb mboard, I'm not gonna work with a refurb on another system.  One is enough. Returning to Amazon.

(Edit:  Changed my mind, I'm gonna stick with this board and see how it goes.  After thinking about how it was packaged, its condition, and the price I paid, I went back to the invoice and saw "condition: new".  Xing my fingers!)

Thank you!
