They say they're going to contact those who purchases the frames. How? Did everyone who purchased one of these give an address, telephone number or email address?

Just another reason to avoid BBY.

Profit is all that they are about. Dealtree/2nd Turn will block bidders on ebay for questioning their tactics for avoiding returns. My experience has been that about thirty percent of the items they are dumping on ebay as open box specials are not as described or are defective.
