Went to a huge flea market in the area friday where businesses sell their merchandise too. There was a gem and mineral stand, we talked quite a bit about the things I was choosing and the guy wrapped them in paper and put them in a bag. I was charged for all of them. I didn't unwrap them until tonight to put them away and found that one of the gems I'd bought had never been put in the bag. That gem had come in it's own box, so I know it didn't fall-out and in any case the bag was intact. I'm going to call the merchant in hopes that they remember me and find that they have one more of those stones in inventory than they should have. Hope I didn't just get ripped-off, but I guess I could dispute the charge too.

Never hurts to ask. If they are honest they are holding your box waiting for you to get it.Comment

Phew! I called and they remembered me and did come-up one extra on that stone so they'll mail it this week. It was a TV Stone. I also ordered a Zincite since they had the nicest ones I'd seen."If anyone wants this old box containing the broken bits of my former faith in humanity, I'll take your best offer now.

Ulexite! You don't see that around much! I love that stuff! I got a chunk of that once for my sister who likes minerals.
I should get that for my kid. She likes rocks, too, and would love that.Comment

We bought Mario Karts Wii from a mall-based chain store once, only to discover when we got home that the wheel controller was missing from the box. Luckily, when we were able to go back a few days later they'd had an inventory check & found they were one wheel over, so they were able to help almost before we'd finished describing our problem!This was one of those times where my mouth says "have a nice day" but my brain says "go step on a Lego". - RegisterAce

I got the TV Stone today. And the Zincite. It's supposed to help you stop procrastinating - I need a friggen' body suit made of the stuff!
