Post by Laurie LeAnn » Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:51 pm

got me a kindle fire got home took it out of the box { there is 2 parts to this box a inner part and out } didn't notice the outer clear seal was cut. slid the inner box out and the paper zipper part was gone.. they sold me a used kindle! had to drive 30 min back to k mart walk in and explain to them about three times how the box was opened and when I plugged it in it comes up welcome Denise, and my is not Denise. all of this after going online finding that they had them from 199 to 159 to 129 then getting to the store no sale price and me asking the sales clerk to verify that they were on sale cause my husband is saying I am wrong, they are not on sale..we told him we do not want the display we want another one, this is the one he pulls. then when I brought it back they all looked so befuddled and like I was lying..I told then hey I will get my drivers lic out and you can go plug it in it says denise. she had to call guy in the back then they asked me who sold it to me if it was some black guy or mexican guy??? I said what does it matter it used..why would they ask that? then she said ya she was in here at one today..I finally got me a new got home now it is all registered and I am stuck lol, got to wait til my boss can help me do the e books thingy...ya have to have a amazon account well laurie doesn't have a credit card..a jc penny is all, hubby won't let her use his bank info for one, I don't make enough $ keep a check account open or to even get one open so I don't know what to do if you have to have one some one said gift cards well how do ya do gifts cards if ya don't have a way to pay for them, don't do pay pal.. bla bla bla...

Yeah K-Mart, Target and Best Buy are bad for selling used I-Pads and Tablets as new and I believe Wal-mart inc, got in trouble for the same thing a couple of years ago because there were a few Tablets sold as new which had already been registered and used by someone else and had some Adult X-rated material downloaded on them and these Tablets were Christmas gifts to small young children which made the issue a Federal thing...This is why I'm hesitant to purchase a tablet from any of my local electronics providers...

found out after my husband bought a gift card that I don't need it for e books grrrr! went ahead and put it on there { amazon } might want to buy something someday. now just get over the fear of touching stuff on the screen that says free then download then says coins and you think huh?? some game I got, my e mail says 0.00 balance for the game & it said free. kyle bought his tablet from walmart and no issues w it. so far I have no issues w this one. I just think it was a lesson I have learned from now on and we usually do check for open boxes but for some reason just didn't that day.
