Ensnareyou,

I agree that those who abuse a 30 day return policy, should then be denied that priveldge and is why I said in my post it needs to be taken on a case by case basis.

Probably the place we differ in opinion is this...no matter how much one researches an item (and I do alot of homework before I buy) until one gets the board or whatever into the studio or on the gig for a week or two and really starts discovering the ins and outs of a piece of gear, one really can't tell if it will work or not for them.

Secondly, with internet sales, the day they quit offering a money back, is the day I quit ordering from the net. To get something mail order without being able to see and play it and then have to eat it if it's junk, is totally unfair and weighted 100% in the businesses favor.

That all being said.....in support of company return policies....yesterday while getting a new piece of gear at GC, I overheard a sonversation between 2 managers. Apparently some clown bought a demo drum kit, knowing it was a demo and got the price break accordingly. Well, he was returning it piece by piece claiming there was stuff wrong with it and getting brand new pieces in exchange. It's dirt bags like this that abuse it for the rest of us who do not go around trying to scam stores.
jam on,
Terry
