Tesco Outlet

I read with a little amusement that Tesco UK has gone the eBay way by setting up a micro site with eBay and calling it Tesco Outlet. Here, they will be selling consumer electronics and electrical products that were once available in-store but have discontinued. Shoppers will also be able to buy 'customer returns' online. According to Tesco, these 'customer returns' have never been used. All items come with 12 month warranty.

What amuses me is that if a person has bought an electronic or electrical product from a hypermarket once, I believe one experience would be enough to put someone off for life. I don't intend to touch on this in detail but I'll say that while I look for cheap deals all the time, I also take quality into consideration. Warranty means nothing to me because when I purchase something, I want to be able to USE it and not waste time running around claiming warranty or even getting an exchange for a similar sub-par quality product.
