I don't exactly blame the manager for being skeptical of his story; I mean, even at our store we get people who try to fraudulently game the system. I mean, if she was completely rude about it then she overstepped her bounds, but this is the first time I've ever heard of this kind of scam being pulled.

My store would have just returned it without thinking...they returned a broken 70" Sharp Aquos without even turning the TV on. Turned out to be completely broken. (I work at Best Buy, specifically Mobile)

This will teach them. They should have bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1. :-D

Apple customers can make the difference ?
Is there a statistic showing how many apple customers believe what they have in hand is not a slab of clay ?

ok.. wait.. lets break this down.

dude buys an ipad
dude removes ipad, inserts clay slab..
dude returns ipad and gets full refund
company PUTS IPAD BACK ON SHELF to resell it.

ok. am i the only one that noticed.
1) why didnt the store clerk check the box before the return?
2) why didnt they open the box to perform a factory wipe on the device? who knows what would have been on it had it been a real ipad
3) WHY ARE THEY RESELLING USED EQUIPMENT AS NEW EQUIPMENT!?!?
