I can attest to this.  One time I returned a couple things, motherboard
included, and had put an identifying mark on the inside packaging of
each so I'd know (I'd had a suspicion) and when I came back the next day
for replacements with my store credit, I got the very same motherboard
without a sticker saying it was returned.  I again returned it and got
my money back so I could go somewhere worthwile.  Sorry Fry's, 2 strikes
and you're out, for MBs at least.
