Ohh btw sammy...
If you do a little research on "refund fraud" or "refund theft" you will find more than you want to know.
There are warehouses full of the returned goods. They can not be sold as new. In the past the goods were sent back to the OEM for repackaging and recertification as "refurbished". However the volume of returns has exploded exponentially and these goods simply cost to much to recertify, so they are dumped at auction to be sold at discounters and on eBay, etc. We the consumer pay the cost of this "dumping".
Most large retailers have implemented software to track the return patterns of consumers and flag those that fit a profile of fraudulent activity.
Sam if you are honestly interested (You did ASK where and how many didn't you?) why don't you talk to a few big-box store managers. They will be glad to explain the problem to you. Ohh wait, you don't really care about the answer, you just asked to be a troll.
