   I paid the $1,500 cost when #sonTwo bought a used Macbook online from Best Buy last year. After it stopped booting and Geek Squad would not touch it, I am reiterating my commitment to never buy anything from their online operations again.
   
   Supposedly it was bought from a third party, not $_NYSE[BBY], but there was no indication at the time, and he picked it up at the local store.

     @brandon I will probably ask his older brother ( #sonOne ) to look at it to see whether repair or replacement is the best path to take.

     @lnxw48a1 This is how a lot of these companies are avoiding liabilities.  They act as storefronts for tgird party vendors and shove responsibility to them, but it is all sold under their banner and using their name, so you dont realize theyve done that until you have a problem.  NewEgg does the same thing.
