My favorite is Fry's Electronics....when you return something and tell them it's defective, they put it back on the shelf to sell again. I returned something that was DOA when I got it home, and after the guy finished all the crap in his system he dropped it in the big box labeled "re-stock" or something like that. I think I have about a 60% success rate with electronic equipment from Fry's.

well i gt home and it had articsilver5 on the cpu pins...
cleaned it up just to find out the board had been obviously modified... someone performed a pencil vdroop mod... and fried the board....
they just stuck it back on the shelf when i returned it....
so i talked to a manager nd they pulled it and stuck it "in the back" but im betting once i left it went right back out on the shelf

**** Walmart. Last year after black friday I went to legitamitely exchange a 26" tv that was still factory sealed in the box for a bigger 32". You would have thought I was trying to rape them. They didn't want to do it even though I had the receipt and the 32" cost $200 more. Finally after 15-20 minutes told them to just refund my money for the 26" and I would go buy the 32" somewhere else. They exchanged it but weren't happy about it.
A week or so later, they refused to price match an item at another store that was sold out, so I just left the basket full of stuff that I was going to buy at the checkout and walked out. I don't think I've spent more than $5 since at Walmart and that's only because the were the only store open at 5am.
I do have my old 32" tv box and some plywood out in the shop though....maybe it's time for another visit.

My thoughts exactly.
The walmart around here checks the boxes to make sure everything is in it. My parents did buy my brother WoW and didn't realize it was a pay to play game. He installed it and used the trial. Since Walmart won't take back games if its open i just Taped the box back up and took it to a different walmart. They checked to see if the seal was broken and refunded the money.
Everything was there tho.
