EB Demands Payment From Victim of Theft
blincoln writes "ABC Action News is reporting that a Florida Electronics Boutique bought stolen games and gaming hardware, and made a profit on selling them back to their rightful owner, refusing to return the merchandise unless she paid them. From the article: 'EB Games still insists it will not refund Michelle's money. If she wants her money back, the company said, she can go through the legal system and get restitution from the thief.' In addition, EB appears to be violating the law by re-selling used merchandise without holding it for the required number of days. I was under the impression that purchasers of stolen merchandise could expect it to be seized by the police (who would return it to the owner) and not recover any of the money they spent buying it unless they took action against the thief. Is that not the case in Florida?"

unless they took action against the thief. Is that not the case in Florida?"

Guess you slept thru the last presidential election, or you'd be up on how stealing works in Florida
Hey, idiot. Welcome to capitalism. Part of capitalism is the shift of usable goods from someone who no longer needs/wants them, to somebody who wants them. The customer gets two things: money, and convenience. The business gets a good profit margin. If they (the customer) want to, they can sacrifice convenience and try to pawn off the games on another consumer directly. Just like used cars. You get more money if you do your own work, or you can take it a little easier and get less money.
Did you know that EB makes literally next to no profit on new games and systems? Hmm? So stop bitching and buy the goddamn things new if you think it's such a bad deal, and resell the fucking things yourself when you're done with them instead of having EB do the work for you.
I guess if I were as dumb as you, I'd post AC too so nobody knew who I was.
Alito: A vote for Alito is a punch in the eye to put that bitch back in her place!
"And so they maintain that their profiting from the illegal sale of stolen goods should be upheld."
From the article:
"Their response? They will sell it back to her for what they paid the thief. As for the Playstation, she's simply out of luck."
What they paid the thief = a refund of their "profit," which makes it a loss to them since it did cost them shelve space and man hours to put it into and out of inventory.
But don't let facts stand in the way of your comment!

Apart from that, you're an idiot. I sincerely hope someone steals your stuff and uses EB to fence it. You deserve it.
That was classic intercourse!
