I was a junior in college when I had to take a business calculus class and was required to purchase a graphing calculator. Being the poor college student I was, I didn’t want to shell out $120 for something that was going to turn into a desk ornament right after I was done with the class so I started looking for other options. As I was telling adam about my dilemma, he said, “why don’t you just rent one from Wal-mart”. I asked him what he was talking about cause I had never heard of this before. He said for me to just go to walmart and buy the calculator, carefully take it out the package being extra careful not to damage the original packaging, use it for the semester in your class, place it back in the original packaging and take it back to wal-mart for a full refund of the $120. at this point, im thinking to myself, “why haven’t I come up with this idea before now”. So I proceeded to go through with this plan and it worked perfectly. I later found out that adam did this with quite a few products that were only needed on a “temporary rental basis”.
