When a chain of events starts with an illegal act, all events that follow are a result of that act. This sequence started with your attempt to cheat RadioShack. At that point, you lost any right to complain, whine, kvetch, or argue about RadioShack, their products, their service, or anything else. If you received crappy service after that, or were dissatisfied with the product - too bad. It is your own fault. Next time, try dealing with them in an honest manner, accepting your full responsibility as an honest customer with integrity. Then, if there is a problem, deal with the store in a mature manner and you might be surprised at the supportive, helpful response that you receive.

You clearly misunderstood. Originally I had no intent to "rip off RS" as Ken had put it. However, upon discovery that they were going to completely rip
ME off by hideously overcharging me, I thought I would simply turn the tables on them. Honestly, if they're going to charge $40 for that piece of junk, how can they expect me to
not get back at them? If "karma" is what you believe, they deserve to be ripped off.
And to reply to people saying I am unfair, this is not the only product of theirs that I have found to be shoddy and overpriced. Pretty much every electronic device I've ever purchased there was expensive and stingy. If they weren't so blinking convenient I would have stopped shopping there a long time ago, but this event pretty much tears it.
