Why is this video card so cheap?

I was looking on http://www.compusa.com for video cards and I'm seeing this one is 191 US(220 CAD) including shipping and I'm wondering why is this so cheap compared to other places. Is there something wrong with this particular card like stuff not included or installed?

http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/562…|||Did you ask whether this is brand new, or secondhand? Some devices are raped over 9000, and this might have a hand on the low price of the gizmo. Another thing is that it might have some problems with its structure, or it offers a totally different product from what is specified.
