Best Buy Sued By Ohio

Posted by michael on from the feel-the-love dept.

liryon writes "The Register is reporting that the state of Ohio has sued national electronics retailer Best Buy for misleading customers by repackaging used goods and then selling them as new, and for failing to pay rebate claims. The Register report can be found here, and the original story is here. I guess this is what you get for deciding the customer is not always right." See also the Ohio AG's press release.

    Most tax money is wasted. In 1955 Connecticut had a 3% sales tax and no income tax. Now sales tax is 7% or more and there's an income tax. How have state-provided "services" have improved due to that huge increase? California's debt is due to absurd waste and corruption, not low taxes.

    All in the name of providing low prices by preventing credit card fraud. I'm willing to live with that.
