This is a question Conned

Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

This is a QotW answer asda.
Back in 2000 I brought a dvd player from asda for about £100. A year or so later they had a cheaper model with mp3 support. I took the player back claiming it was skipping all the time. The result: Better dvd player and £20 profit. A year later I did the same trick because the other players tray was sticking very slightly. Another £20 profit (price had fell again), score.
