'Returnaholics' cost retailers billions of dollars a year {WalletPop}

May 25th 2010 1:40PM For the last two years or so, I've seen a dramatic drop in returns! Why? Because I started charging a "restocking" fee for every product I sell.

When a customer walks in and wants to return an item, I'll charge them 20% of the retail cost of that item. Nine out of ten walk out without a refund.

Once an item is returned, I now have to resell it at a lower cost because the item is now considered an opened item, and I lose money. For instance, If someone returned a $1,000 camera, I tell them there is a 20% restocking fee of $200.00. Will that be cash, credit, or debit?

Best Buy has been doing it for years. Maybe more and more retailers need to wise up to this idea!

Notorious Reality TV 'Brat' Sues ABC for $100 Million {PopEater}

Mar 23rd 2010 3:29PM I was thinking she could pair up with Octomom in a lesbian love affair porn video to help pay back the loss!

OMG! I sooo wanted to barf within the first two minutes of the video! What a friggin' spoiled brat!

Merlin Olsen Dies at 69 {Fanhouse NFL Blog}

Mar 11th 2010 12:37PM He also had the lead role opposite Michael Landon in "Highway to Heaven" in the 1990s.

This guy was nothing short of a class act, both on and off the field. Truly an inspiration. My heart-felt condolences to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.

Save a Soaked Cell Phone {Switched}

Nov 10th 2009 11:06AM Although this hasn't happened to me yet, but what about (with) smart phones? (i.e. Blackberry, iPhone, Droid)?

In a poor economy, SeaWorld raises ticket prices to just under $80 {Gadling}

Nov 9th 2009 5:13PM Heather, I couldn't agree more with your post. I've just renewed my season pass for the eighth consecutive year, only this time, I've renewed for the two-year option. I really don't care what the price is, no amount is worth saving the life of a defenseless animal/mammal.

Borders will axe 200 Waldenbooks stores, 1,500 jobs {Daily Finance}

Nov 7th 2009 5:05PM "You've Got Mail" just happens to be one of my all-time favorite movies for a "chick flick!" And I'm a guy! LOL

Kevin Martin Sidelined Indefinitely {Fanhouse NBA Blog}

Nov 7th 2009 4:21PM A play on words to get you to open (read) the article. AOHELL has been doing it for years. Hey, it got me too!

Borders will axe 200 Waldenbooks stores, 1,500 jobs {Daily Finance}

Nov 6th 2009 1:16PM Donna, you bring up an interesting point concering the new e-readers (as their called). I also want to add, that, at least REAL books won't cost you $200-$300 each, and, batteries won't die during a "good part" of an e-reader, then you're stuck either buying new batteries (MSRP $60) and/or recharging them for three hours. I'd take a REAL book anyday!

Leaving Verizon Wireless to get more expensive Nov. 15 {WalletPop}

Nov 5th 2009 5:42PM Funny how the article concers Verizon Wireless customers, but the photo is of Verizon... (just saying...)

In a poor economy, SeaWorld raises ticket prices to just under $80 {Gadling}

Nov 3rd 2009 8:16PM $78.95 per person? Wow. Makes Sea World San Diego, CA seem poultry at $69.00 per person, although I'm sure wil follow Orlando's lead soon.

I'm a current premium season passholder to Sea World, San Diego, CA. and was able to get a two year pass for just $149.00. Only $6.80 per month, and go as often as you like. Ok, so that means it pays for itself in 10 visits. I've already been there 30 times this year.
