I bought a MP3 player at the weekend but, like and idiot, didn't notice the refurbished part in the description. While refurbished would not be a problem if the goods in question were in mint condition, in this case, there are scratches on the unit and it looks somewhat tatty. Short of 'breaking it' (it has a 12 month warranty) is there anything which can be done to get my cash back. I have not yet approached the shop where I bought it from.

Why did you get another?Originally posted by cswdI'll vouch for that - I'm on my 4th one now (iPod nano this time).
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
