Guest conoley Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Awesome score. I bought a broken 40" Sony HDTV off a friend last week. He says it was a gift, I say it may have been stolen, but who knows. Paid $70 for it. It was nearly new, so I called Sony and asked about the warranty and they said they couldn't do anything because I have no receipt and can't prove it was from an authorized retailer. When I asked them if they could find if it was stolen, they said they couldn't. So I walk into Wal-Mart today with the TV, no box, no receipt and say "Can I return this? It's broken, but I have no receipt." They had no problem with it, so I moved down to the 32" model and got my Christmas shopping done with the remaining money. Life is good today.

mcm1610 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I think I've been in a Walmart twice in my life, but I may have to stop in more often if you can abuse them like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 it makes me feel good that more people do this to walmart. my brother just got the red ring of death on his xbox so he went to walmart and bought a new one, switched the hard drives and then returned the broken one. no problem.

scottheisel Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i know a lot of people have shot low-budget movies with wal*mart's return policy. 90 days and you can return ANYTHING On a similar note, I know many musicians who record albums with "loaned" gear from Guitar Center on the same principle. Not sure what GC's return policy is (it might even just be 24 hours), but I know many guitarists who will raid their pedal section for overdubs, then return them all the next morning.

reachforthesky Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 i had an opened spore game that was broken and i tried to return it and get in store credit and they wouldn't let me. They only let me exchange it for the same game, and they opened it for me once i exchanged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew13 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 yet anytime i try to return stuff that i got that was legitimately broken, they give me a hard time. that's why i started driving an extra 30 mins to get shit instead of going there. seems like any game or dvd i would get would be scratched and unplayable out of the box.

valentine Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 when the ps3s came out and then sold out, i got a tip that walmart was getting some. so i showed up and bought a tent, sleeping bag, and a bunch of camping shit. then i set it up outside and stayed the night. got my ps3 the next morning at customer service. went outside, broke things down, and went and returned it. it was great.
