It is a violation of federal law to return a 'returned' item to stock if the item has been opened, tampered with, or could have been alterened in any way by the party returning it. This provision is often ignored by many stores. This provision is always ignored by HD, and a couple of other stores that will remain unnamed!
Or, we can hope that that 'new' one he bought was the same broken one he returned six weeks ago!

Where does Home Depot get the custom replacement vacuum formed plastic shells to heat seal? I'm not talking about shrink wrap. If you have proof of a business selling returns as new, report them to the Federal Trade Commission, and give them a copy the evidence. Otherwise, you are just talking out your ass.

Home depot doesn't care enough to go to such lengths. They simply return to the manufacturer or destroy all returns and simply sell the next fresh shipment of crap.

Michael A. Terrell
It seems that no matter who is selling what, according to you, its crap.

Not at all. Just items that can't outlast a single battery change.

I've never seen anything to that, and I've worked in electronics over
40 years.

Sure what ever you say, after all, you know everything there is and no one else knows anything.
It's just like you to put your foot in mouth no matter how wrong you are just to satisfy your stubbiness and ignorant personally.
I hope you enjoy portraying your self as a dumb ass..
For your information, I know some one here locally that works at a Home Depot and yes, they restock items on the shelf that were returned from customers that claim it to be defective. All they do is perform a visual cosmetic inspection and if it looks good, it goes back out for sale for the next victim. They do this in hopes that they will either return it late or return it to another store or maybe the customer just didn't want it.
Think before you post!... It may improve your posture.

Jamie
Yes, Best Buy does that also, only they make mistakes and shrink wrap items that were never sold that way in the first place.
M
Michael A. Terrell
Hearsay evidence, or fact? If it is a fact you should report them to the Federal Trade Commission. BTW, an electret microphone still isn't a crystal microphone, like you've claimed on other electronics newsgroups.
You claim that everything ever sold by ECG & NTE was shipped defective. You've claimed that the place where you work as an 'engineer' continues to use chemicals long banned by the EPA, then you call me a liar?

The local Best Buy has a section of open box returns. Computers, and some other items are shipped with a 'tamper proof seal' on the carton.

Your ignorant response to the above only goes to show your lack of real world experience..
Why don't you get out of that closet of yours and actually look around for change..
It appears you are what we call at work "Shoulder Educated". Most people here that actually have real hands on experience , dealing with the likes of you, knows exactly what I'm talking about.
You can continue with your cynical remarks as you wish, but It only serves to make it obvious that you are oblivious to reality.
You speak like every one out there that provides a service or products are operated by those sent by God and abide by the rules of the Holy Grail. Well, I have news for you, You could be wrong in that aspect!. Oh no, that can't be.
M
Michael A. Terrell
Yawn. More ignorant 'jamie' lies.
What closet? More ignorant 'jamie' lies.
You are what we called the janitor at work, because all you do is push things around with a dirty mop.
You wouldn't know reality, even though its all around you.
I hope Home Depot's lawyers scan usenet looking for people like you. A clown like you on another newsgroup was claiming to sell home made Caig De-Oxit contact cleaner. He got a cease and desist letter from Caig's lawyers. They didn't care that he was an old man who was shilling homemade crap to hobbyists, he was slandering their corporate name just like you are doing to Home Depot. They have deep pockets. Can you afford a lawsuit?
Jamie, you are a pathetic joke. Your misinformation and lies are all over the Usenet archives. You refuse to tell anyone where you claim to work as an engineer. That means either that you are lying, or have been in trouble over your online antics already. For a so called 'engineer', you are pig ignorant about the way things work in the real world. Our laws and legal system has a huge impact on designs, yet you claim to use illegal chemicals, AC outlets above their rated voltage, and all kinds of other things that would put that place out of business.
You were laughed out of news:sci.electronics.design for your ignorance.
You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!
J
Jamie
Oh, so that's your final say, it's always lawyers, Lawsuits etc.. Making arrest, putting people in jail, should I go on?
Talk about some one being pathetic, I find it hard to think I'm actually wasting my time replying to this dogma propaganda your generating out that hole of yours.
You are a piece of work.
Any one that really wants to know where I work and what I do can find that information them self's. Most people that really are in touch with how things work in the real world would know how to do that.
Secondly, I've already made several post in the past that should pretty much indicate on what type of work I am currently doing and what I've done.
Have a miserable day.
M
Michael A. Terrell
You always do, even when you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
And you are a chunk of stinking effluent.
You're losing it, and slipping back into sloppy writing.
Only vague claims to work for a defense contractor as an engineer, yet from what you write, you wouldn't make a good janitor.
Why would I want to be like you and have miserable days? You are the sorriest, most miserable loser on Usenet. For once, I agree with Phil Allison.
You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!
J
Jamie
You would agree with him, your type normally hang together.
And personally, Phil really does not bother me, I take it more as amusement than anything else. At least he sticks to his standards.
It's no surprise to me in any case, ship jumpers usually go on what ever side it suits them at the time. Or in other words "What ever side the grass is greener"
You should decide on what faiths to stick to. Kind of hard to earn any respect for some one that can't hold their own ground.

Focus? That's a laugh. You make a splatter gun look like a CNC controlled cutting laser.

So what you're saying is, I can take crap and turn it into something useful?
You are after my heart! I'm blushing.
