Hello!
My father in law bought an electric heater from a general store in North Carolina. The heater had been returned to the store from a previous customer. The store knocked off 50 dollars, because it was a 'used item'. He paid $349.00 plus tax.
When he got the heater home.. he found it wasn't working as well as it should be.
He took the heater back to the store the next day. He was told he had to pay a 70 dollar restocking fee. There were no signs posted concerning restocking fees.. nor, was he informed at the time of the purchase of restocking fees. $70.00 on a USED item! Is this legal?
