In my opinion, both of you (Andy & 6ave) are misbehaving. For one, just because the law says one thing in no way makes it "right". It just means you can improperly profit from their mistake. Still, that does not justify them threatening you with illegal action and certainly not for improperly charging you. That, in fact, is petit theft, clear and undeniable. They, in effect, stole from you (or, at least tried) and there can be quite serious consequences, but it would probably take too much effort to pursue. If you choose to do so, you could report them to your State Attorney General, and you probably should.

Still, I wouldn't expect to come on a public forum and expect sympathy for how they wanted the incorrect unit returned. There is no honest reason for them not to at least ask. There is more than enough blame to go around. At least yours wasn't actually criminal.

Also, I seriously doubt they are an authorized Denon dealer, and they are anything but "respected", so in addition to all else, "lie down with dogs" comes into play.

They flutter behind you, your possible pasts. Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost. Last edited by JohnRice : 01-12-2008 at 03:09 PM.
