PS-and instead of editing your post, you replied again 2 minutes later? No wonder you have 30,000 posts.

there was no need to edit my post, they were two different replies.

Also I am sorry if you felt threatened, but I am confused where you think I was playing a tough guy.

It's you that's in the wrong...however; many here see no problem in stealing/lying/etc.

Even though it's been asked, why the hell would you buy anything from a B&M nowadays when 99% of the time, you can get it cheaper online?

and if the packing is different should he screw amazon with a return or eat the second one?

Reading FTW Now go back under your bridge troll

READING FTL...so what does he do if the packing comes in different.

Like I said, does he do the right thing and now keep the second item or does he make up some more bullshit and ask amazon to take it back?

How is he supposed to know if it's the same packaging?

No clue But my statement simply says to order it from Amazon If it's the same packaging If it's not the same packaging, then he shouldn't do what I recommended.

Sometimes on Amazon.com they show the box the item comes in so he could check that way. But again, the OP didn't post what the item was (or I didn't see it) so there's no way for us to tell.

No, they won't take it back. Just chalk this loss up to experience. Prices change all the time. Shop before you buy, not after. Enjoy your purchase.

right no clue....this sheds alot of light on your landlord issues.

It's impossible to tell what kind of packaging you will recieve from amazon even if displayed. They often use stock art and many times several distributors.

Like ordering this package from BMG or Columbia House...they may very well have the exact packaging 'look' but the SKU and a small fine print of 'distributed / created for BMG/Columbia House' will be found on it.

The answer I think the rest of us are looking for is should it come in the wrong packaging what would you do with it then? My money is you'd screw amazon.

How would Amazon get screwed? The OP would have purchased the item from Amazon and Amazon would have received his money.

You still are not comprehending.

What does he do should Amazon send something with different packaging or an incompatible SKU to B&N?

yeah, that's probably it. The world is fucked up cause I wanted to pay a lower price for a CD. You're trying so hard here, man, it's really kind of embarassing.

He doesn't open it and returns it to amazon? Not that hard....IS it the right thing to do probably not, but its up to him to decide what he is comfortable in doing to save $25.

bingo.

just walking around a b&n cd section should have clued you off that their prices were inflated.
cds are cheapest when on sale at bestbuy/frys/amazon.

Like I said before, the OP should only purchase the item if it's the same packaging. And since Amazon and B&N don't use a "custom" SKU like Columbia House does, that won't be an issue. If he orders the item and it ends up being different packaging, that's what you call gambling and losing

Books are always cheaper somewhere else too. I wonder sometimes if B&N and Borders are just Starbucks with a REALLY big selection of reading material.

the only part i really like about B&N is the discount area. 5 or 6 bucks for some of the stuff ive gotten there wasnt a bad price at all.

otherwise i hit up amazon or something

There you go

 

[alkemyst]

However I would guarantee he'd then just tell amazon to take it back.

It seems stealing and other illegal methods are ok here...I am sure much of our audience raped Costco on free laptop upgrades every couple months. There were mentions back then that this was perfectly ok too and what Costco really intended.

Well guess what, we all lost a sweet warranty deal because of chumps using it for profit instead of a real problem.

How can you guarantee what he would do? Now you're just talking out your ass But that's nothing new I suppose lol


The people that abused the Costco return policy were asshats. But that's apples to oranges. I'm sure you can see that.

Now you are just trolling...he has admitting in the OP that he was willing to make up bullshit about the package in order to return it so he can go buy elsewhere.

That sets the stage.

I just picked up a CD set at Barnes & Noble. Naturally, after I get home and pop it open and start listening, I see the same CD set on Amazon for half the price (I paid 50, Amazon's asking 26). Do you think I can take it back on account of being completely ripped off? For that matter, the packaging describing the "Bonus DVD" is ridiculously misleading.

Long shot, but whaddya think?

Care to show me where he says "willing to make up bullshit about the package in order to return it so he can go buy elsewhere."?

And I'm glad to see that you realize that your costco comparison is completely irrelevant to this topic

Ditto, B&N might not flag bathroom products like Brendano's though.

Keep opened one and return the one you by from Amazon to B&N.

winnar!

I knew someone that did the same thing with an original XBOX when it started freezing on him.

You're one to talk :disgust:

I'm actually surprised, even though I shouldn't be, at how some of you fail to see that what you are recommending is wrong. He would be scamming B&N by buying it cheaper somewhere else and returning it to them. He is returning a product he did not buy from them to their store and they have a policy setup, which he agreed to when he bought it, to not take back certain items. There really isn't anything else to discuss if you don't see something wrong with this as you obviously lack ethical standards and are set on personal gain at the expense of others. Alkemyst was right. This is the mentality that put us in our current economic position. No one wants to be responsible.
