the whole "the laptop was registered prior to the purchase" part kinda rules that out in this case
though I wouldn't put it past someone to come up with a lie like this, this case is actually legitimate

I will simply say, in a non-challenging way, "if you say so..." It wouldn't be the first phony tale posted here (or elsewhere) if it were untrue, and it simply doesn't quite ring true.

Why would anyone buy from Fry's in the first place? just buy direct from the vendor and be done with it! same reason I buy online from Apple - cut out the middle man and go straight to the manufacturer.

Dumbest thing I've read today. Frys has fantastic deals on a ton of stuff, plus you can't buy direct from ALL vendors. You know what? Find me a link to buy a Samsung TV on their site. Direct from Samsung. It's ok, I'll wait.

We're talking about computers no televisions - a television is a completely different kettle of fish.

It's not really a challenge, if the computer was registered on a date prior to when this person purchased it, that pretty much rules them out. Unless they went ahead of time, stole it, then bought the box a couple of days later?
