Isn't there some sort of law against that? I don't think you can sell returned items as new...

42 inch aquos $1699 is that really a good deal? Hard to tell :/ , reason why I wonder is because to get a tv to where I live I'll have to pay $135 S&H :S which model is it that will be on sale? Does it have PIP? For that matter (sorry for OT) are there any reasonably priced sets in 42inches with PIP?

nothing special this time.

Well Walmart's brutal when it comes to buying "new".

Here's me little story: So a couple of years ago I bought a fish tank (small, plastic, $30ish). When I bought the fish people at Petcetera insisted that I buy a bigger tank since the plastic was only 4L or something. So I disassembled the used, small, plastic tank (which was soaking) and I promptly went to WM for the return. They took it back no questions asked. I go out to my car and remember that I forgot that I needed to buy fish food. So I go back in, hoping to get out quickly..and what do I see in the fish supplies aisle? You guessed it, my week old, used, small, plastic fish tank, With the box slightly ripped and pieces of tape sticking out all over the place sitting on the shelf with the rest of the new ones.

Don't get me wrong, most people would point out that it was used, but shouldn't they have an immediate markdown on returned items?

Boo, the Rebel XT i want is back up to 699.99, and the Nikon D40, which was 629.99 is boosted to 699.99. Stupid FS.

The Aquos 42" TV requires special delivery. Has anyone had experience with Futureshop and "special delivery". What are the typical charges?

Anyone know if this TV will be available for in-store pickup at the discount price?

Edit: when putting the regularly priced item in the cart, the ship price shows up at $55.00. Does this sound correct?

If they were to continue to do that, wouldn't that mean that people can use an item, return it, wait till it was marked down and re-purchase it for a cheaper price. Know how fortunate we all are that Walmart has a great return policy and let you return something that was working perfectly fine and used.

Just picked up the Panasonic 42" Plasma (PX75U) for $1350 thanks to this promotion. Not spectacular pricing, but good. FS price matched it instore in Sarnia.
