It happened again! (iPad replacement)

A liar and a thief.

You have betrayed people's trust in order to scam the company and give all consumers a bad name. For those of you who are condoning this behavior because Apple can afford it, you are basically saying scamming people is OK, as long as you don't scam poor people. There's really no difference between what he does to Apple and what unscrupulous people do when they sell broken items on Craigslist, or even break into your home and steal things. After all, you have insurance and can afford the loss. Where do you draw the line and decide that scamming is no longer OK, and the act that was OK yesterday isn't OK today?

I am pretty disgusted by the OP and his justification for bilking Apple out of money. I suppose there are unprincipled people everywhere, though, so I am not surprised. Just saddened to hear someone revel in his dishonesty.

Karma is all I can say. This sort of behavious are not to be pround of. Keep it within yourself. May be he'll get scam by a scammer next time.

All I know is I won't sell this person anything knowing that whatb he's going to do with it.
 
Funny how the OP not only abused the system knowingly, then comes here to tell us all about it and tries to justify himself with "I'd have used it broken if they hadn't replaced it," then wonders why people are angry with him.

They should have busted you right then and there for trying to replace a device that had already been replaced once (why wasn't the broken unit given back to Apple the first time it was replaced, by the way?). More importantly, if enough people do the same crap, it's only going to make it harder for people with legitimate claims to get replacements because they're not going to trust anyone with a broken screen. That's how these things ALWAYS turn out.
 
WAIT. I think some of you got the story wrong. The person got their iPad replaced, and then broke her replacement too and then the replacement was sold to me. Either way, I still dont know how the hell you people think I scammed the person I bought it from? Can somebody explain please

You're too late. Everyone is up on their soapboxes now. You're toast.

Scamming Apple. I don't think anyone said you scammed the person you bought it from.

You're buying broken Apple products, taking them to Apple, and getting them replaced with new ones. Did you tell the representative that you bought the iPad knowing that it was broken with the intention of coming to Apple and getting it exchanged for a new one, or (as your original post is written) did you say that you bought the iPad used (and neglected to mention that you knew it had a broken screen). The Apple guy was showing sympathy for your plight (getting scammed online) and you took advantage of that. The hot girl didn't know you were there to scam Apple.
 
Alright guys, I'm sorry for hurting all of your feelings. I apologize, have a good night. :cool:

It's no skin off my back. You didn't steal from me, you stole from Apple. Maybe you feel good about it, maybe you don't. As long as they don't raise the price of the iPad 3 to compensate for thieves of this kind, then I'll be ok.
 
I'll tell you what pisses me off about this story. Not the fact he got it replaced, the fact that Apple is super inconsistent in their policies. They never told me one free replacement. A few weeks after having iPad 1 with Apple Case I got a nasty scratch on the screen. Truly, no idea how it happened. All geniuses were like that's impossible. Then proceeded to tell me scratches/cracks on the screen are not covered under warranty.

Wow, everyone is so up tight. Apple didn't have to replace it, but they did. Everyone is acting like he stole something. Move along nothing to see here
