Hey everyone,
I just purchased a Nintendo 64 (special edition variant) from Cash Converters for $180 today. The item had a sticker price of $250, though they offered it to me for $180 with no warranty. I said that this was fine, as long as it turned on when I got home. (I actually DID say this) Long story short, it wouldn't turn on when I got home, so I took it back to the store, and they managed to make it turn on about 5 times out of 30 attempts, with a lot of struggle. They refused to accept that the console is intermittently faulty and had a 'too bad' kind of attitude.
A couple of questions:
Since I chose to purchase it with no warranty, am I basically screwed? or would consumer law come into this at all?
Are pawn shops legally allowed to sell goods with no warranty?
What would you do in my situation? Cut your losses? Attempt a chargeback on your bank card?
does it say anywhere on your sales invoice that warranty is excluded from this?
