I went to CC once with a 60mm Tasco refractor - a mint, boxed 1970's one. I asked $250. They offered $30. Got in the car and left. Sold it through the old Trading Post newspaper for what I wanted.

My father erroneously bought a used HP (yeah, I know, right?) laptop from CC. He paid $350. He brought it around to me because it was acting up. I told him the CPU fan was cactus (which it was). He took it back, and they claimed, "No, it's working. We'll give you $250 credit towards another in our shop" - in other words, we'll charge you $100 for our rubbish. Seeing I was with him, I snorted, called them a bunch of impolite names and drove my father 2km to the local computer shop. Was GIVEN a used CPU fan/heatsink bar FREE.
