Thread regarding Sears layoffs

This is a good thing. It gives people that buy a boxed item that they cannot see or test out the chance to return the item within 7 days if the item is broken. Nothing nefarious or wrong with that. It actually helps the consumer.

The point is they are not supposed to box up broken sh-- and sell it as new. Whether you can successfully force them to take it back for a refund depends on how much of a son of a b--ch pain in the a-- you can be to get your way. I know people like this, LOL!!!

If the item was bought before the liquidation sale began then you can return it under the original return terms and conditions. But after liquidation starts all you have to do is put up a sign that says, "All sales are final, No Returns". Then all returns are null and void.

The warranty of merchantability is implied, unless expressly disclaimed by name, or the sale is identified with the phrase "as is" or "with all faults." To be "merchantable", the goods must reasonably conform to an ordinary buyer's expectations, i.e., they are what they say they are. For example, a fruit that looks and smells good but has hidden defects would violate the implied warranty of merchantability if its quality does not meet the standards for such fruit "as passes ordinarily in the trade". In Massachusetts consumer protection law, it is illegal to disclaim this warranty on household goods sold to consumers. Stolen from wikipedia.

.. and must accept gift cards and returns sold prior to commencement of closing sales:

and accept returns of merchandise sold by the Debtors before the commencement of the Store Closing Sales for the first thirty (30) days of the Store Closing Sales, provided that such returns are otherwise in compliance with the Debtors’ return policies in effect as of the date such items were purchased.
