ALL retailers reshirnk wrap returned as non >defective product. Shrink wrap macines are real cheap. (Followup snipped to appropriate newsgroups) In *my* situation, I bought a "new" motherboard from Frys, took it home and discovered it was physically broken and chipped. Tried it anyway, but obviously it was quite dead. Took it back, no problem there. However, returning the next day to look for more motherboards, I found the EXACT motherboard I had returned (remember, it's physically cracked and broken), back on the shelf. At that point I left and haven't been back to their stores. I had been spending about $500/day in Frys (I bought a lot of equipment for clients)
