I also just bought the Incredicell.  When I brought the salestag into the
service area the yo-yo I handed it too immediately went into the back and
produced the battery, and handed it to me, and walked off!  I called him back
and asked him what was going on.

	"You have a question?"
	"Yeah, aren't you going to put it in"
	"No, this is a carry off"
	"Huh?"
	"We're backlogged right now, and we won't catch up til five."

Irritated, I left, went out to the parking lot, and within about twenty minutes
my friend and I had the new battery installed (I just bought the car and the
hex nut on the positive terminal was round--completely stripped).  

On the other hand, they'll be short one trade in battery, and they won't know
which one it is . . .

Think of how much time the bean counters are going to spend worrying about it
before they write off something that's only worth about six bits . . .

Heh-heh.
