Definition of Open Box Merchandise

What is the definition of “Open Box Merchandise”?

It seems that retailers have different opinions about wht it really is. In general, “open box merchandise” is a product that has its packaging opened and seals (if available) broken before it is sold to the end customer. Open box merchandise could be a product returned by a customer to the retailer or a demo product.

Would you buy a computer which is already taken out of its packaging, turned on, and had some modifications done on the software (no matter how little modification is made)?

Reno 911! Might Return for The Sixth Season

Comedy Central and Reno 911! creators are reportedly talking about renewing the show for the sixth season. There has not been any official confirmations from both camps at this point.

I talked to Carlos Alazraqui on Saturday night at ACME Comedy Theatre, and he confirmed that indeed the show MIGHT BE picked up for the sixth season by Comedy Central. Then Alazraqui added, “You would know it before I do, that’s how it usually goes.

The Reno 911! Season Five DVD was released within a week after the season finale episode first aired on July 10th, 2008.

Currently, Carlos Alazraqui and Cedric Yarbrough are doing College Comedy Tour across The United States.

Cedric Yarbrough attended The Boondock‘s creator Aaron McGruder‘s wedding in Laguna Beach, California on Saturday August 23rd, 2008 (if the location was 100% correct).
