RMA departments aren't flawless but they typically test in a bunch of clean bench systems and I'd imagine a company as large as newegg would have enough people in the RMA department that you wouldn't get an RMA tested by the same person twice.
If it comes back to you again with no fault, see if you can work out how to reproduce the issue, I found that in doing so in the past I was usually able to pinpoint the problem, and it's not always faulty hardware.

The price isn't the issue, it is the overall stability ,quality of the hardware that is in question.
I sent mine to RMA the second time, and this time they admitted that the hardware is faulty . somehow maybe early R290's have high rate of DOA.
