There's a large difference between "My digital camera isn't working right - will they give me a new one or a gift card or will they try to fix it" as opposed to "My mp3 player is working perfectly - how should I commit fraud against Best Buy and intentionally break it to get a better MP3 player"

I'm talking about people overclocking their hardware and asking for advice on what to do or what excuse they should give to the RMA department, etc., etc.

Well that is fraudulent - I thought you had meant all the service plan posts on ATOT.

Nah, service plans are there for a reason 🙂

I bought a muvo nx 128mb last summer and got the two year replacement plan.
The thing is there's nothing wrong with the player right now (hmmm how should the destruction be done??)

and bestbuy doesn't sell the player anymore. They have the rio nitrous for the same price and its 1.5gb.
i could also get any other player buy just pay the difference.

do it?


How about an account upgrade instead?

Account upgraded to BANNED.

Haha.
 
do it, i used to work at BB computers and u dont know how much misery we gave to some of our customers.. and they make billion dollars on this scheme... i say do it man.. just dont physical abuse.. say that the mp3 stops working after 1-2hr straight listening...blah blah... i hope i have my freedom to express what i want here:\ sheesh😕
 
So when your banned is it forever or is it like when they say take a week off or a month?
If it is forever WOW that guy had over 1,000+ posts, too bad what a waste. But you think he would
have known better.

You don't...this is a private forum, therefore you are not entitled to any form of free speech, and the owners (or in this case, their designated helpers) can place any restrictions on speech they deem fit.
 
It's nice when they give you a better model for legitimate RMA replacement.
But that's no excuse for defrauding the system. Although once I replaced a player only to discover that the problem was in the batteries 😀
They were new batteries, but for some reason they weren't working, so I thought it was the player, and I had it replaced. Then I put the same batteries into the new player, and it still didn't work 😀 Oh well. The customer service guy could have tried a working set of batteries and saved his company some cash 🙂

I'd rather not live in a world with insane markups and high insurance prices, etc.

These dishonest people screw it up for everyone else. Best Buy makes millions on what scheme? service plans? Then don't buy them. I'd like to know what "misery" they give their customers.. I worked there; and noone got any hassle over any issues with a prp. Most things with PRP's have to be sent off to get fixed, and some salespeople would lie and say they would just get swapped out... other than that I don't see the deal.
