Bogof Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 sent my headphones back as they were faulty. went in today and there in the sale section with a description of the fault What do you expect them to do with them? Bear in mind that an awful lot of electrical items are sold to retailers with a "bought-out" guarantee, which essentially means that they have NO redress to the manufacturer in the event of returns. Amstrad used to do that a lot in the early days of satellite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon83 Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 I think he may be hoping they repaired them? Not sold them??? yes or even sent them back to aiaiai. i was shocked to see them for sale as they are pretty much useless unless your rather def in 1 ear. they fire out some decent sound in 1 ear but the other plays at the lowest volume possible and at times you wonder if its on at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repaired them or recycled the materials. Retail stores are struggling as it is... if I owned a shop I'd be very careful not to tarnish my image by selling on obviously faulty returned goods at knock-off prices. Bad form.

You don't have to be an Einstein to work out you can swap parts to get 1 good working pair of headphones from 2 faulty ones. Everyone is having to tighten their belts in this recession so fair play to the shop for replacing your headphones with a new pair then saving themselves money by not paying to have them recycled but selling the faulty pair on to someone who can make use of the spare parts."Needs must" as they say Comet are doing similar through their back door, they have an Ebay account where they sell the working circuit boards they've removed from LCD/Plasma TV's that were beyond economic repair.

Nope at that price they certainly aren't worth repairing, (in your reply to Nogin tho you said you thought they'd repair them or send them back to Aiaiai )There are people who still ask for single piece earphones for various applications but the product isn't around so much now, so this clearly marked display item could be a God send eh You could rewrite your title to be........will shops do anything to provide a service?
