HTML Edit for price Change

[RigasMinho]

hey i know this is weird. but has anyone thought about doing this
1) goto www.amazon.com or www.buy.com
2) find your product
3) save the web page onto hard drive
4) edit the html web page and change the price to whatever you, but nothing too far fetch.
5) print it out
6) price match and bestbuy b&m
7) ask for sales manager saying "yeah i'll buy the warrenty and accessories"
(i used to work at best buy for a summer job and yeah they will sell you anything if you buy the warrenty and accessories)
8) goto another best buy store and return the stuff you bought

tempted to do that. wanna know if anyone else has thought about this.

I am temped to boot your thieving butt off the forums and report you to the appropriate authorities at the school listed in your email address. If nothing else, they should give you a failing grade in that Ethics class you slept through. :|

You are the thief.

First of all, Best Buy doesn't price match websites.
Second, any establishment that did price match websites would likely visit the actual site to verify the price.
Third, this is fraud.

Well perhaps you havn't checked this site out to carefully so I'll try and help out here.
What you are proposing is called FRAUD.
The moderators here have a habbit of banning people for such activity, and who could blame them, since it's illegal.
This site is for legitimate deals only.

IF it worked, that would be the same as stealing. . .

And this is not a hot deal.

You are so close to get kicked out of the AT. This is FRAUD.

So wouldnt you come out with the same amt that you spent, since by returning you would have to have a receipt right? And even if they did take the return w/o a receipt wouldnt you lose the money that you paid on the warranty.

bad thief!

Why not just go your favorite store, buy something, and then reach in the register when they get your change. Grab just a few dollars (you know, nothing too far fetched) and then leave.

Do your parents know you're using the computer right now?

 

I've seen someone do this before, and yes you moron, it is illegal.

Is being someone's prison b1tch really worth saving a few bucks? If so, I'd go ahaead and edit and pricematch some nice soothing @ss cream for yourself.
