Wrong, completely wrong. That's what Jim Coon said, and my post, which you
quoted in yours and to which you were apparently responding -- you even
edited my quote from Jim out of it, so I have to conclude that you were
replying only to my text and not to his -- said just the opposite.

Of course it does. That's what I was saying. You can't get a cash refund
if you return something you bought with a lemon credit, and I even said ex-
plicitly that your receipt would show that. The very first sentence that
you quoted from me was this (Jim had said that if I used the lemon credit for
a pile of CDs I could have brought them back unopened the next day and asked
for a cash refund):

There it is: I'd already said that there would be no cash refund for items
paid for with a lemon credit.
Here's what I said: if, when I used the lemon credit, the item or items I
bought added up to more than the credit and I had to pay the difference in
cash or with a credit card, and I returned something, then I could get a
cash or credit-card refund UP TO the amount of cash or charge I had added.
Say I use a $200 lemon credit and add $2 in cash to buy $202 worth of mer-
chandise. Then within thirty days I change my mind about a $22 item in the
pile and return it. I can exchange it for $20.50 of merchandise and get a
$1.50 cash refund; I can exchange it for $25 worth and pay $3 more in cash
or on a credit card. But if I want to exchange it for $19 worth, I have to
buy something more to bring the new purchase up to at least $20 to cover the
lemon credit or forfeit $1 of the lemon credit. In other words, my cash
refund is limited to the cash I added.
| I want a refund because I want a new MD player!
You won't get one unless you get a time machine and return the 510 within
thirty days after you bought it. However, there might be other things Best
Buy sells that you could use. Consider that if the 510 were working and you
sold it used after all this time, you'd get a lot less than the lemon credit
value for it, so it's not that bad a deal.
Since my earlier post, another member of MD-L has said that, since Best Buy
still carries Sony products, they could special-order a JE530 (or whatever
current model you want); I don't know about that first-hand and had not heard
of it when I posted before, so if you can arrange that, that's certainly the
better way to go.
