I couldn’t agree with you more regarding stores marking returned items as returns. Some stores are pretty good about things like that, such as Frys Electronics, which I don’t believe you have in Ohio.

It is always a good idea to check the box to be sure it has the original seals on them. Of course, the stores do their best to try to make sure you can’t tell that an item has been opened and/or previously sold.

Our family makes it a habit of buying the more expensive items we purchase from reliable stores, instead of Wal-mart, which is known for it’s low prices and low quality merchandise.

I do hope your son has been able to purchase a new Xbox with his earnings.
