Interesting. Every time I return an item at a Wal-Mart, the box is opened, the barcode on the device scanned - and they will ship it to a recycle center where it will be resold as broken parts and/or refurbished. Wal-Mart and other retailers CAN NOT put a used item back on the shelf.

I have worked retail for years - Gamestop is the only place something like this could happen. I find it odd that folks will not notice rocks clanging together and the box is factory sealed.

Yeah, right. I'm so calling BS on this.

 

Thats not completely true. I work in retail and if the item still works and even if it is open we will tape it back up and resell it. It happens on many things. If some of the boxes are bad enough we do clearance it for a little off, but I can totally see this happenig as Walmart never checks anything that you return.

I worked a summer in the returns department of a walmart. Stuff is put back on the shelves all the time. From TVs to underwear for ladies. Walmart is there to make money, so if they have to rewash something and restock it- so be it
