You may want to ask them anyway - I bought a LinkSys [MsWin-only] print
spooler at 'Around Lenox' CompUSA and didn't use it. I had opened and
tested it, and even opened the CD pack. They accepted the item for a
full-credit return while the same item was on sale for less than I'd paid.
I thought that was quite gracious.
