I used to do that with the Wilsonville Fry's, except it was AGP video
cards for CGA and EGA adapters we had piled up. I did it three or four
times over the years, my roommates have all done it...you'd think they'd
check the box. But I guess it's a vicious circle, since often times
those boxen with the exchanged cards are put back on the shelf, so
someone else has to legitimately exchange for the real thing.
