Yea I heard,I thought that was best buy though.
wow that is crazy, this is the first i have heard about it, so i cant help you with details.
sorry.
=)
She’s suing Best Buy. Read the article on the front page first…
54 million! Yeahh! I say go for it.
it was best buy

That laptop cost me alot of money damnit
wasnt that best buy though??
Interesting story, but why 54 million, if she left it a 1or something as small as that they maybe I would have sympathy for her but 54 to me is just greedy.
ive never heard that
Wow… no i didn’t hear abut this.
I say shes insane.
I hope she wins – hope she was smart enough to have a backup of her files.
It’s Best Buy that she’s suing.
I’ve read somewhere that it was best buy. I’m not surprised that she’s trying to teach them a lesson. Considering the way they’ve treated her she was more patient than many people would be in a situation like this.
i agree with user: {tuesday}
this is probably true
OR
a well planned scam…
the store may not know, but the lady might have a backup disk at home..
hmm.. lawyers should look more closely into this situation..
..
To me.. I think she is absolutely NUTS to be suing for 54 mil. She needs to think of a more reasonable dollar ammount, a dollar ammount that won’t end up shutting down best buy if she wins!!!!
Sounds as if she’s related to the mor_on judge that sued the dry cleaners for a lost pair of $400 slacks. He sued for $50 million, lost, lost the appeal, then did not get re-elected because of it. These people are real rocket scientists, just think, they vote and breed.
good god i thought my laptop was expensive but that is ridiculous
I don’t think I exactly agree on that- it’s just a tad extreme. ha
But hey, if she can get $54 million, then more power to her.
I sure wouldn’t mind having $54 million. I start college in April so, that would sure make paying for that a whole hell of a lot easier.
I do agree that a lot of stores do treat their customers poorly, but I mean, they did offer her $1000 right off the bat. They should have offered the laptop’s full worth though.
That’s still more than most store’s would offer.
It wasn’t Wal Mart it was Best Buy. I don’t blame her I agree with her. She is just trying to make a point that they cannot just “lose” someones things and not give a care.
She’s not insane. She’s proving an important point. She’s setting an important precedence. She’ll get a big settlement. Not $54 million, but she’ll get a nice chunk of change.
