Buy low, sell high. If Best Buy didn’t limit customers to X numbers of computers, he’s not doing anything untowards. He’s practicing capitalism.

Like I said, nothing illegal.

BUT...buying in bulk with the intent to resell or return cannot be what Best Buy had in mind.

And of course they don’t even intend to face the risk themselves, they want to return unsold units.

Legal but not ethical.

I disagree. He has purchased the product, but he intends to take it back. So he really has just borrowed something to see if he can sell it. However he is going to get his money back if he can not. He has no real risk. He exploits the system for his own benefit and let consumers and the store pay the price. He is a loser. Must be a liberal. At least a conservative has balls to take a risk with some principles and a strong sense of values.

That's fine as far as it goes, IF he takes the hit on unsold inventory and marks them down to get rid of the surplus. But he doesn't do that . . .

He’s practicing capitalism.
No, he's practicing Citicorp Socialism. Getting a refund on his unsold goods is like Citi making a bad business decision and then wanting somebody else to bail them out.
