I prefer to get all my legal advice from someone named "skarydrunkguy"

What a bunch for billshut. In Michigan, just to give you an example, the legal provisions are as follows: RETAIL FRAUD [MCL 750.356c & .356d] Stealing merchandise (items offered for sale to the public) while the store is open for business, "price switching", or trying to get a fraudulent refund from a store. Retail Fraud is a theft crime requiring proof that the item was taken intentionally (not accidentally), with the intent to steal.
It appears that no intent to defraud the business was present. tvbi may have had a legal duty to alert the store that a much higher priced good was unintentionally sold to him, which would have given tvbi the choice of using the item and paying the store the difference between the paid price and the reasonable price for the item, or of making the item available to the store for pickup and a refund of the original purchase price.
However, since tvbi is no expert, he has no duty to inspect the purchased item beyond an outside look at the item. Heck, I couldn't tell, AGP, PCI-E, ISA, whatever... who knows, right, guys? And isn't that a videocard for a MAC anyways, correct?

Unless OP intentionally switched the labels, there is no "felony". Just like there is no "retail fraud" of any degree.
Please stay away from the law schools, there are smarter people out there who need to get in.
PWNAGE!
PS: anyMal is correct

There is nothing best buy can do about this they agreed to this transaction for whatever was exchanged. A good example of this would be the grocery store who accepted the novelty bill with George W Bush's head on it in exchange for cash and of course groceries. Both of these are legal exchanges because both parties were willing participants. At any point in time if the cashiers weren't so stupid they could of refused to sell it.

Nice find. Hope their inventory doesn't come up short. Or they trace it to your bedroom with that new code they put in high end video cards. Just peek out the window before you answer the door. You should be OK.

I hope everyone here realizes how incredibly stupid this statement is.
