Your problem is "BestBuy"///
There you go making unfounded allegations against large corporations,
with teams of lawyers. i hope that they take everything you own, idiot.
I speak from experience with Best Buy, How about you Jerk?
No, you can continue to jerk it all you want. They can sue over your
claim that they knowingly buy defective equipment, and resell it.
That's ridiculous. If people were sued for making offhand disparaging
remarks on usenet, we'd all be in court every day.
Ha, I couldn't agree more. and my claim wasn't that they were selling
defective equipment knowingly. In fact, I really never made any
such claim.
The problem being is when it comes time for them to take back their
merchandise.
I should had worded it as "Your problem might be Best Buy"
Hey, he may have an understanding manager in his area that don't follow
the rules of Best buy to the letter. who knows.
All I know is, in my area they do and head quarters backs them up
even if it means the customer gets screwed.
I have a friend that bought a laptop from them on sale. when he got
home, he connected it, booted it, started to play around a bit and seem
to be happy with it but then about 30 mins into it, it starts to perform
a hard reboot. let it cool and it operates again for another 30 mins.
He takes it back to them that night, so here he goes ..
They wanted to send it out for repairs using the extended warranty
he got.
That didn't fly with him, He said he wanted a replacement, they didn't
have any left. Also, they told him that because he had already
activated Windows XP, he was responsible for it then. Then he said wait!
I never activated XP, never got that far, in fact it never even asked to
do so. The salesman showed him the registered name, it wasn't his!, then
the Laptop does a reboot about 10 secs after that information was shown
infront of him.
So they both deducted at that point, the laptop was a defective
return item which didn't really surprise him how ever, after a couple of
calls the salesman made, it seems that they were willing to send it out
for repairs but not allow him to return it for a complete refund, on top
of that, they mentioned something about a restocking fee even if they
were to refund him.
He said, wait, I have to call some one. He did. he called his credit
card company and canceled the sale. And told the sales person to have a
good day and walked out empty handed. The number he called only needed
to talk to a sales person to verify that they had the item in hand.
