how are profits tied to greed?

just because someone is reselling a product on ebay doesnt make them greedy. how is it any different than any other business that sells a product. they buy it as cheap as they can and mark it up as much as they can to make a (god forbid) profit.

if you snooze you lose. why should shoppers care if you get one? jealousy i say.

yep, I don't understand what the problem is. Everyone had the same opportunity to get in on the deals.
I hate how some people on FS/FT care how much someone paid for an item and try to negotiate from there.

What you've just experienced is part of BestBuy's future attempts at getting rid of "Barry and Jill".

If it was in the ad, each item that had a rebate would require an entire page just for the legaleze. The leagal requirement must be on the rebate, which should have been read before you bought the item, expecialy if you had never done a rebate before.

Do not blame Best Buy because you did not read what you should have. If it is such a big deal, then bring the monitor back. You are still within the return period. Chalk it up to experence and move on. There is exactly zero ways to pin this on Best Buy. The only one who made a mistake was yourself.

Well said!
