All I got was a rock.


For some reason Nintendo DSi's photoshopped over a bed of rocks really cracks me up.

Re: All I got was a rock.

i see this type of thing happen more often then it should at my store. someone returns a box that looks sealed but inside is something different or its filled with garbage. one time someone returned a ceiling fan that was filled with rocks.

its still possible that someone is lieing to get a free ds, that is something that also happens more often then it should.

I've purchased factory sealed games that had no disc inside. It's tough trying to get stores to believe you, but it really does happen.

A good idea might be to just open the item right in front of a clerk after purchasing it, to avoid any possible problems.

At the Home Depot I work at, someone bought an expensive toliet, and then came back and returned it. Inside was their old toliet, that hadn't even been cleaned.

Even though the manager looked at the toliet, the guy complained enough to get his money back.

God, scammers like that ought to be hung up by their toes and whipped silly with a frozen cod.

Re: All I got was a rock.

Reminds me when I bought a sealed nVidia video card only
to find a ****ing ATI Radeon pice of **** inside.

From then on I've never bought parts at Best Buy ever again.

Sucks to get a rock instead of a DSi.

Re: All I got was a rock.

I have seen at least half a dozen used faucets placed inside new boxes and then these scammers slip the plastic banding back around the box.

It's hard to tell if the cust is lying, or if we genuinely missed the return the first time when we were originally scammed and this poor sucker happened to pick up one of thes eunits.

90% of the time- they get their money back.

Yeah, I usually do that now. But I rarely buy new games anymore.

Same here. I even picked the one in the back. But luckily Best Buy believed me :3

I wouldn't hang them by the toes exactly....

I note the store responsible for this was Wal-Mart (which was too cheap to take any responsibility for it, figures). And people ***** about GameStop.

Re: All I got was a rock.

My sister got a scammed item from Target before. She bought a little balloon and helium kit back in February for her son's 5th birthday party. The thing was supposed to come with balloons, shiny stringlike stuff to tie the balloons down or give to kids, and a little compressed helium tank. Well, we opened it up half an hour before the party started and discovered no balloons, no string, and an empty helium tank.

They didn't give a refund in this case, because apparently my sister doesn't know how to ***** them out enough. XD

But if I ever got a game or system or somat that was expensive, like a DS, I wouldn't let it go until I had free **** for my troubles on top of the item originally purchased.
