    I almost got expelled from school and a felony for that shit. I bought a set of windows 2000 books from my vo-tech school, in the wrappers, for $15. Turned around and "returned" them to Barnes and Nobles for about $390. They gave me a gift card which went on ebay immediately afterwards. More people did it, and one fuckin dipshit wore his vo-tech shirt when doing it. So they called our vo-tech, told them, and next thing ya know I'm in the office, Barnes and Nobles has contacted the authorities, and we are all having a big cluster fuck meeting to decide whats going to happen. They kept threatening I would be getting expelled and will be charged with a felony offense. I got away with no punishment (there's probably not a lot of legal grounding for anything). I just had to return the card. My teachers hated me and wouldn't say a word to me the rest of the year. They also told me I wouldn't be able to walk into Barnes and Nobles ever again. hah, I went in like 3 weeks later to buy some magazines.

    I actually bought 2 sets of those windows 2000 books from vo-tech.

    The other set, I sold to my college a year later for $200 with their book buying program

        I told Barnes and Nobles a relative bought these for me here a few weeks ago, and didn't give me the reciept, but I'd like to return them. I don't think that has any basis for any type of charge either way.

            Don't forget copper rain gutters, or high voltage electrical cables (with the power on of course - google it)...... AC units... like the guys that ripped the pipes from a refrigeration unit at a food bank (total loss of food 500K)...

                    When I was in college, one thing that I learned the hard way is that when you learn how to beat the system you shouldn't tell ANYONE.

                    The first year that we ever had phones on campus, (around 1990-91) we figured out how to hack the PBX auto-attendant. Somewhere along the line we figured out that if you called the school's 800 number after hours and waited for the recording you could simply press '9' and then call anywhere around the country at the university's expense. And because all of the campus phones were 4-digit extensions on the PBX, our friends and family members from out of town could call in on the 800 number, get the recording and when prompted by the "If you know your party's 4-digit extension.. blah..blah..blah.."

                    After a while so many people were doing it that eventually there were parents who were calling the administration office on their 800 number asking to speak to their kids thinking that this was a free service provided by the school.

                        You made 120$ and got free food. 12 hours of doing nothing is worth that to you? What was the catch?
