Unbelievable and just my luck (good and bad)

[episodic]

Good:

Wife found a new Sony Alpha A200 DSLR Camera on closeout for 250$.

Got if for my b-day.

Bad:

I have no compactflash, there is a band I would LOVE to photograph tonight, and in my middle of nowhere town has exactly 1 Compact Flash card in it for 70$ (online for 20$) and I refuse to pay that inflated price. So I have to wait for Wed. for the egg to send me my 20$ flash card.

I hate living in the middle of nowhere.

It's pretty hard to believe that only one store would have a CF card. What store?

No wal-marts within a reasonable driving distance?

Rent it. Buy and return baby.

Where exactly is middle of no where? Doesn't show in your profile so I'm guessing you must have a lot of enemies who want to kill you.

Ask friends and family?

It is the walmarts that are out. I'd have to drive an hour to another. The local Shack is out . . . office depot has one - but very expensive. . .

Northeast Louisiana. . .

Buy the one from office depot. return it when you get the egg one.

when you return it, just play stuipid and say you got the wrong format.

New to the area, family is all underground now. . . our family was kind of like the highlander movie - there could only be one. . . I jest. . .My mother had me in her late 40's - so you do the math. . . I have a brother - in Hawaii. . . so. . .

Tell them you found it cheaper elsewhere.

that way you're not lying, and they will still take it back.

Ooh.

FUCK THAT YOU RETARDS MAKE SHOPPING MORE EXPENSIVE AND RETURN POLICIES DIFFICULT!

many use to claim that Costco had intended shoppers to be able to upgrade their TV/laptops every year or two....obviously this wasn't their intention with the awesome warranty they offered that is now been cut at the knees.

IMHO a $50 convenience factor on a store stocking a slow moving item is well worth it. I had to pay top dollar for a Sony Memory Stick when a relative came to visit and didn't realize how many pictures they'd want to take and that this technology wasn't popular in the US.

I actually wonder how illegal this actually is... Return Policy are all about competetion between stores.

People want to be able to easily take back items when they want to. Stores want to come off as having great service. It is the reason Walmart has a 90days - no questions asked Return Policy. They don't ask meaning that they are willing to give your money back for any reason.

You are a tough kid, it's not many that can walk in mid donkey punch on your mother and ask if she can make you a hot pocket.
