From what I can tell the buy back program for a TV is like $99.99 up front, given I bought my TV for $800 (42" Sony Bravia) I wouldn't even get my money back at 10%. This is 100% unadulterated scamming.

>// you could get a lot more via Craigslist

I could get more via the bulletin board in my apartment building's laundry room. Shit, go to the local college campus' and put up a couple of fliers on their bulletin board.

Who even replaces a TV after 6 months or 2-years unless it's a complete lemon? This must be targeted to the limited subset of people with no common sense, disposable income and a severe lack of anywhere else to spend it (IE not in college or university, not struggling to pay rent, don't have kids). So basically this is aimed at morons in the 25-35 range who are either incapable of finding a partner and accidentally get pregnant, or who somehow managed to be "just-that-stupid" but also somehow managed to comprehend the consequences of sex.

Personally I'm even amazed this has an applicable market. I mean I know it's parasitical in nature but really this is like trying to poison the world by lacing all the worlds supply of caviar with a less than lethal dose of arsenic hoping we'll gradually reach a lethal dose.

Not only can you get more by selling it on Craigslist but you also get cash instead of BestBuy store credit.
