    I found this article in the paper version of the Globe here at school (Collegiate Readership Program means free newspapers for students who want them) and immediately thought of CS. I'm psyched that retailers are cracking down on "renters" even though I was in a situation that would likely be considered "renting" last semester that involved a camcorder and a big restocking fee.

    only 2 years to return a tv is NOTHING, I've had people return 8 YEAR OLD TVs.
    No way. Any item bought and returned that can't be resold for approximately the same amount minus restocking fee, doesn't get taken back in my book.

    8 years is longer than a lot of equipment is supposed to last nowadays, so if anyone tried returning 8-year-old electronics I'd turn them away flat, and if they pressed the issue too hard I'd ban them in an instant. Even 2-year-old TV's nowadays are worth less than half of what they were when new, depending on the TV. Unless you're charging a 50+% restocking fee, that's a no-go.

      What really ticks me off is his use of the term "rent". Hey, you got _all_ your money back, how in the world can you even _consider_ this renting?

      Agree, restocking fees plus no refund for any damage at all. And I agree, keep track of these clowns and stop this quickly!
