My friggin ac adapter cord on my laptop quit working. So I go to Best Buy on my way home for work thinking, I have fifty bucks cash in my pocket, I will run in and grab another one.


Now I owe Visa another 140 bucks. How can a friggin extension cord cost that much? Shouldn't it come with a naked dancer or something?:D

I bought an HDMI cord...and returned it the next day. I didn't feel that my picture quality was any better than with good (and affordable) component cables. It did create a different shade with reds (more of an orange looko) but it definitely wasn't a clearer picture by any means.

I would keep that receipt...buy one on eBay and return the original to Best Buy once you get the new one. By chance, what type of computer do you have and how old is it? I have an HP notebook that's a little less than 2 years old and my power cord is starting to crap out on it.

How is that fraud again??? He bought the product with the intent of using it. However, if you can find a better price and return the original then you would do the same thing. Actually, I would ask Best Buy if they will match the price...when they tell you know then you shoot them the birt and get your money back! It is a money back guarantee! :thumbsup:
