    This kind of thing is what is wrong with our society today.....
    Some shoppers who wardrobe do not think they are doing anything wrong. Deignan refers to the way he buys as renting. To see him through the NFL playoffs, Deignan planned to wardrobe a plasma TV after his set broke in December. But it got fixed in time, just before the first Patriots playoff game.

    "There's lots of times when I buy stuff that someone's bought before. When I rent something, I'm taking good care of it," said Deignan, who works as an event coordinator. "And, it made me look good when I saved my company $600 in rental fees for the projector."
    It would be renting if you actually paid for it in the end, but you didn't. The article is right. Companies usually cannot resell at full price. I know that when I see a package that has been opened and obviously returned, I'll grab one that hasn't been opened. Thanks for sharing the article, sweeps.

      if you go into a store occupy an employees time and never plan to buy anything you are not a customer ,buy something knowing you are going to return it you are a thief .
