Argos Laptop Return

sgun

Yes, I agree, but OPs post is about getting a refund from Argos. I don't think Argos have anyone on their refund desk checking registers and installs Its quite easy to make a laptop look unused if you know how to. Factory reset does not wipe memory but can make something look unused for a return if that's what you want. I wouldn't do it but it is possible. Wiping entire memory does take a bit more effort but to get an Argos refund you don't need to go that far. I will say again, up to individual to decide if its the right thing to do (personally I would take the impulse buy on the chin and sell on at a loss)

And what might happen when that laptop gets returned to the Argos hub for them to inspect and get it ready to be resold as a customer return and they then discover that the person who returned it was lying about not using it?

Wont happen as they get sold as job lots to clearance houses, where traders but pallets of shop returns.
maybe £10,000 worth of goods for £1000. with a pot luck chance of all the goods in the pallet work

Argos has a contractor that reconditions returned laptops and sells them via the Argos Outlet on eBay.

I used to but the pallet of goods which also include laptops. what they sell on the Argos Outlet on eBay are old stock after they change catalogues and what they no long stock in stores.
