I'm no lawyer, but I think there is something in the states called a
"Warranty of Merchantabilty". If something purchased clearly is not what
was claimed as sold, it can be "forcibly" returned.

If a Florida dealer sells you a non-working computer, but you get it home
and you find it does not work because it is missing major parts (processor
and supply, for example), the dealer _has_ to take it back.
