When you agreed to accept a replacement cable from microsoft you entered into a contract, your obligation in this contract was to discard or destroy the defective part, you specifically agreed not to profit in any way from the exchange which includes monetary compensation as well as benefitting from the use of the cable for purposes other than that for which it was originally designed, you are now soliciting methods for profiting and or benefitting from this contract making us accessories to the crime, I have collected all of the pertinent information and have forwarded a link to this thread to the appropriate department at microsoft, you will be hearing from them shortly, if you wish to avoid a lengthy stay in a federal "pound me in the ass" penitentiary your only option is to kill yourself, however you may not use the defective power cord in any way to assist you in this act as that would transfer the burden of the violated contract to your estate, have a nice day scumbag.
