    Compusa gave me a extra computer

    Hi all,

    I ordered a desktop computer from compusa.com about a week ago. It finally came today via fedex. However, for some reason they gave me a second computer for free (checked the order again to make sure that i didn't accidently order two by mistake).

    Im confused should i keep it? Would i even be able to get away with it without them finding out?

    Or should i return it to my local compusa? Would they give me a prize for being honest?

    Ethical dillemas abound.

        You could probably get away with it... gotta be tempting, but I'd like to think I'd return it were it me.

                I'd keep it without question.

                  I'd keep it....but i'd give it to a relative so that if you get in trouble you could say it's the relative's fault

                    my lil brother ordered a GeForce FX 5700 from newegg a couple years ago... 2 days later they sent him the same exact card but he wasn't charged for it... he was gonna send it back but i said "NO!!!" and took it for myself... needless to say my video card doesn't work anymore so yeah.. karma's a bitch.

                      Thanks for all the input guys. I think i'll keep it and just store it downstairs just in case Compusa calls for it back or something.

                        So, it's HIS fault for there being people not paying attention in the shipping department? Yeah, I'm not buying that one.

                          Its not but not honest thing to do would be returning. You would be fixing someone's mistake and in the process helping. That way if you messed up in a similar case you would want someone to help you.

                          I would have a hard time returning it myself, but my GF would probably force me to.

                          EDIT:

                          And wow Flyboy, before I posted this the girl in your avatar had pants on. After the my post, gone. Wonder what would happen if I posted again? hmm

                            Meh. Morales and ethnics. If someone gives me too much change at a store, I let them know about it. But, if someone ships me an EXTRA computer? Nah, I wouldn't bring myself to it.

                            Yeah, finding avatars that are OS suitable is a task.

                              Flyboy, I see your point...but it would eat at me too much, I don't know. Yeah, it's justifiable to say it's their fault and you're not liable, but that doesnt mean you should keep it.

                              Whatever. Do what you want, Uhfan.
