Mathew,
I used to work for DSE, and did so a while as a manager - the policy was
changed to allow for this buy and return while I was there so that some
people could buy new technology and use it, and if it didnt quite fit then
it could be returned... ...it was ment as a "good faith" and a "fair go"
sort of thing and at the time, no other stores had this policy... ...and
in fact most still dont.
I can tell you now - the staff in the stores are trained enough to know
whats going on (yeah, even some of the "dumb-arsed casuals").
You could do it a bunch of times over a long period. You'd be forgotten
Heaps of stuff NEVER gets a public review. Especially the cheaper gear....I know what the
policy was back when I was working, and how this info was passed on, but
these days I dont know what they would do.
An no matter what ANYONE says - there is nothing in Consumer Law that
states change of mind purchases can be returned... ...so actually DSE is
doing anyone who uses this policy a HUGE favor! If an item is "...not fit
for the purpose of its purchase - does not fullfil the warrent of its
advertisement..." then they are DEFINATELY required to refund - not they
are not liable for refund on change of mind.
There is NO excuse these days, with internet, TV, radio, Libraries,
catalogues, techlology magazines and their massive reviews of new and
interesting products - for DUMB/ill-informed Customers...
Depends on the legal jurisdiction."Mathew M." <me@privacy.net> wrote in message

Your language is a little convoluted but presumably you're talking about
goods sold not being "fit for the purpose of their intended use" or not
performing in the manner described by advertising, POS literature or,
importantly, by sales staff. Those are all grounds for the customer
requiring the retailer to remeby the situation.
Note that the customer can in fact force the retailer to remedy the
situation at no cost to the customer - this could be far more onerous for
the retailer than simply calling the sale off by refunding the customer.
It
might, for example, require the retailer to upgrade the product. So, for
example, if a customer buys a $99 DVD player and the salesman claims prior
to sale that the unit will make DVD recordings then the customer, upon
discovering that recordings can't be made, could require the vendor to
supply a DVD recorder at no additional cost. Ouch!
