There was a big hoorah here in Texas a couple of years ago when a UT
student bought a new [Gateway?] computer at Best Buy. One of their
bundled specials. He loaded the carton in his car, took it home, and
found that he'd paid about $1200, IIRC, for a painter's coverall, a used
dropcloth, and half a 3 gallon can of Napthalene. The store dodn't
believe him and never refunded his money.
