Lol, when I worked at Turnkey in central london, there was this guy that would come in, buy a bug expensive synth (like a virus KB or Oberheim or Korg Triton) then return it a week a two later saying things like "I didn't quite like the Osc" or "the keys don't quite feel right". Basically it was some vague and subjective reason for a return but presented as a design fault.
He'd done it about 5 times, then he came in again, this time to return something like a Yama CS2x for another synth but something was off with him, and I realized he was drunk this time around.
We really didn't want to take another back (it was a causing headache with returns and sale commissions for the sales guys), so I started to him a bunch of really technical questions about the specific problems he had, trying to trip him up and the he accidentally said "well when I'm sampling....". He realized the mistake and started trying to backpedal, at which point I told him I just needed to check what other synths we had, and jumped on the computer.
Turned out the er was sampling all these synths, then selling the sample packs on places like KVR and via his ty website. He got marched out the shop by security and I think a couple of legal letters from manufacturers and he promptly disappeared.

Lol what a ing .
I've probably bought 50 synths in the last two years and I've only returned two of them. A Dark Energy, because it was , and a Minilogue, because it was ing .
I take the hit on anything else I don't want to keep because I like to keep a good relationship with my 'dealers' :p

Almost ordered ANA 2, but then remembered that I'm supposed to feed myself for the rest of the month as well, so food won. I'll get it eventually as it looks really good, love the filter modes and the sampler.
While I do have serum(rent to own yay), that one is death for high polyphony sounds, which I use extensively, and Ana seems to be a good alternative(Ana pls go rent to own).

That's a superb plugin. Very different to Serum.
I did some of the factory content for it.

horrible keys, i returned it after using it for 5 minutes, got a Impact LX25+ instead and much happier with it, although it takes up a bit more space

So my winter gas right now consists of the incredibly boring 4 x Vestax IF050, replacement in linse upfader for my Vestax Mixer.
I did however get these from the missus for Xmas....haven't broken them in yet, but first impression has been really good, and they may prove themselves to be a worthy replacement for my beloved but sadly discontinued Sont MD 7509HD's:
