That is not the point, TC. You're a lot better at selling cell phones than you are at following logic.

Moo, I see your point here but man, just keep the bag and just let this thing pass ... chalk it as "learning" and invest more time in research before you spend hard earned money next time. After all, you do like the bag a lot right?

It is painful to watch you derail like this from what you once used to be.

Wow, a savage put-down worthy of the ages.

Now I'm scratching my head asking what the hell this means.

I don't follow, Sri. Perhaps you can send me a PM about what I used to be. I'm no different than I ever was... I don't like shady ***** to get away with things.

You are even better at managing Walmarts than he is at selling cell phones

LOL, maybe I should enroll in Wal-mart's training class.

FWIW, I agree with you that it was ****** that you were told you were buying something that was nicer than what you got. But, now that 4 months have passed, I would probably just consider it a learning experience and move on.

As long as they have the Bills logo embossed on them, keep them. They'll be worth $$$ at the next Bruce Smith fundraiser.

I don't either - get the full refund and get a bag you like better if you feel so strongly about the seller misleading you.

Considering that you've had the bag for 4 months, might this not be a good time to go ahead and collect on that refund? I understand that you like the bag, but I'm sure the novelty has worn off somewhat. This could be your opportunity to upgrade to something better and/or more deer-skin-y. no?

You both write pretty well.

I planned and more or less plan on keeping the bag for many years.
