Life Is Like A Best Buy Purchase


After doing some research online today, I learned that Best Buy is selling Logitech diNovo Edge keyboards for 60 dollars or less. Considering the retail price for one of these bad boys is $200, I decided it would be smart for me to purchase one.

I picked up the first box on the rack of 3 that they had left. It felt a little bulky and normally I would have picked through the available inventory and selected the best “feeling” box, but with a helpful employee standing over my shoulder I just grabbed the first one and headed towards the register.

As I waited to pay at the register, I wiped dust off of the cover and thought in the back of my mind “I wish I could have selected a better box.” The front of the box seemed to bulge a bit. “Whatever” I told myself. “It doesn’t matter what the box looks like.”

Upon arriving at home, I looked on eBay and was happy to see the same keyboard I purchased selling for a minimum of 40 over what I paid.  I started making plans to buy the other 2 and sell them for a profit.

Eyeing the box again, I decided I wanted to play with my new toy. I removed the stickers that secured the top of the box. Slipping off the top, what do you think I found?

Well if you guessed a Logitech diNovo Edge “Most Advanced Keyboard in the World” you are wrong. What I found instead of a stupid piece of crap PS2 eMachine keyboard that had been stuffed in the box.

Best Buy of course closed at the very moment I made this discovery.

Basically, someone bought one of these keyboards, put their keyboard in the box and returned it as unopened. And some idiot at Best Buy fell for it.

I only hope I don’t have any troubles remedying this mistake tomorrow morning.

Also, if any of you reading this decide to go buy the remaining keyboards I will hunt you down and stab you.

In the words of Forrest Gump, “That’s all I have to say about that.”
