computer show return policy?

[Elbryn]

Gonna be going to a comp show this weekend. I dont have much experience with going to comp shows. WOndering if there are much differences between normal shopping(online or at physical stores) and the comp show stuff. Do the return policies typically differ? If something goes bad with something i've bought, i'm i pretty much screwed?

I'm not an avid goer either, but I would have to say that most things you would get for cheaper at a computer show do not have warantee's. The reason being is that they were models or test machines or whatever, and they aren't standard manufacture makes for one reason or another. But there is no requirement of a warantee on anything. Just make sure you ask the vendor to give you something written or show you a web site verifying that the serial number on your product is under warantee for X amount of time.

Most good computer shows have general return policies that they post when you buy your ticket.
