What has surprised me most on this is how many people are:

A. Attacking Terry. (”He should have weighed the box! He should have opened the present before he gave it to someone!”)

B. Attacking me for writing about it. (”You obviously don’t get it! There are technicalities here! Technicalities!”)

C. DEFENDING CompUSA (”They didn’t really sell it! Someone who looks exactly like them did!”)

I have to say - I’ve learned a heck of a lot on this one. I figured this was easy - if there was ever anything everyone could agree upon, it would be “Selling someone an empty box is wrong, is not a ‘Final Sale’ at all, and should be refunded regardless of who was wearing the shirt.”

That I was wrong? Wow.

Fortunately, for my faith in mankind, the vast majority of people agree that Terry should get his money back.

the item was purchased at a compusa store. regardless of who was selling out of their store, they hava a duty to fullfill the merits of customer service. If not, then i will not subject myself to the risk of falling to a similar trap.

Wow. It was at 5 diggs yesterday morning. Last night it was over 50. This morning it’s at 1,579. Technorati has over 11,000 entries about Compusa - follow the URL linked in my name - and a lot of them mention Terry’s experience with them. Talk about a black eye for CompUSA’s customer service department.

i will point out that steve did not buy form compusa, he bought from a liquidation company that BOUGHT everything in that compusa store. The day they announced they were closing 126 stores all 126 of them were their own entities.
