I am a scam artist when it comes to buying and returning.
I will be glad to send you a book on how to scam without losing, for
only $20.
Seriously, when in need and when in greed, I have done some pretty low
down things before.
These are examples and do not reflect what I have done, but there are some pretty nifty tricks.
For instance:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did your motherboard manufacturer release a newer revision of your mainboard to fix
bugs and even added some new features?
Well heck, give yourself a free upgrade!
Bring your old motherboard in your car and charge the new revision motherboard on your
credit card.
Go out to your car, swap mainboards and then bring your old mainboard in, in its original box
so that serial numbers match, while leaving the new motherboard and its box outside in your car.
Say you changed your mind and want the board amount sent back to your credit card.
Presto! Instant Motherboard upgrade!
Hey, the manufacturer should have made the damn mainboard work right anyhow.
How was you supposed to know the mainboard would freak out when you tried to use more than 64Megs
of memory? But sure enough, 4 months after buying rev one of the mainboard, you try to upgrade and the board
flakes out, not even detecting all the extra memory you added. Serves them right for making and selling defective products!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another Example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my, a new super-duper video card just came out and I'm stuck with this old 6 month old video card.
No problem!
Find a store that sells both your old video card and the new video card you want.
Take your old card in, tell them you bought it last Sunday, with cash (so they can't try to trace your purchase)
and tell them that you changed your mind, you want a better card.
The first thing they will ask you is "Do you have your receipt?".
You answer by saying "I expensed this to my company, I had to give my receipt to them".
If they give you a hastle, tell them that you would want your money back if you had the receipt but you only
want store credit.
If they still give you a hastle, talk to the manager as they are the one who can say yea or nea without risking their job.
4 out of 5 times, someone will eventualy understand and let you swap out cards.
Presto!
Free upgrade!

>: No returns without a receipt.


Well, sometimes there really is a valid reason for not having a receipt.
True, Continental Airlines did lose my luggage once at Newark airport, which had
a $300 receipt in it.
I got my luggage back and the receipt but yes, one can really lose their receipt.

>: No returns after 30 days, even if you possess a receipt and the product is
>: unopened and unused.


The Best Buy's here in Texas only give you 14 days to return, so your local Best Buy
policies are better than ours.
But, there is cool managers at Texas Best Buys who will let you return products with lifetime
warranties (STB video cards for example) up to 2 months after purchasing them, with a receipt of course.

Those poor smucks are jerks who are rude.
I have a very hard time feeling sorry for one who sells computer garbage
all day but acts as if he is a conceited king, no matter how little he makes.
