I take it you don't work retail. A few things need to be understood about how many people touch these things before they even hit the floor.. a lot. Not only that but the distribution centers they go through, and to the people that work there... it's just another box that has to be loaded. Case in point, last week our store got in a revision case.. and it was crushed. Literally. The distribution guys decided to put a pallet of kitty litter on top (20#bags x 50.. do the math) of said Joe box and a couple of HDtv's. Clearly not the brightest thing to do. But to them, "I've got 3000 pieces to fit on this thing and this is where it's gonna go". I personally buy mine offline due to the limited number of "by the hour" employees that I can. BBTS is a good example of getting a good quality product in reasonable condition, even pick and choose your quality. Sub, standard, collector or what have you. Sure you don't get the hunt in the wild but you do get a nice package... unless UPS or equivalent decides to do their best interpritation of Wallyworlds distribution centers. BTW those tv's and joes had to be all claimed out, they never got to the floor. Our claims department had to take photos of all the damaged product and we lost tons of labor hours just because some yahoo wanted to hurry in the Dcenter.
