Hey Tony:
ARD : 'If any part is missing or damaged then I
intend to return it here
and now for a cash refund under the terms of the Sale of Goods Act.
This is really off-topic for the list so feel free to reply directly to my
e-mail address -- I'd like to know your (and the group's) opinion:
What is this "Sale of Goods Act?" (I knew the UK paradise had to come with a
catch) Here in Florida a merchant doesn't have to give a refund, period.
Please advise.

I'm no lawyer, but I think there is something in the states called a
"Warranty of Merchantabilty". If something purchased clearly is not what
was claimed as sold, it can be "forcibly" returned.
If a Florida dealer sells you a non-working computer, but you get it home
and you find it does not work because it is missing major parts (processor
and supply, for example), the dealer _has_ to take it back.

I believe it's called an implied warranty of merchantabilty, i.e. the
item sold will perform the task for which it was designed. A washing
machine will wash clothes, but may not mix peanut butter cookies.
Bill, want to buy a large lot of partially mixed cookie dough?

It's "Fitness for merchatability" and goes to product being saleable or
as advertized is saleable condition. It has also been applied to product
safety.

Only if advertized as complete. Thrifts and other seconds hand businesses
are bound differently and caveat emptor certainly applies.
