Doesn't Walmart get their shit from 3rd parties? It would seem to me that some poor bastard with a title like "jr sales director II" was given a list of things to sell, thought the hard drive was neat, and didn't have the presence of mind to see that the tech was improbable. In that sense, some scummy businessman got one over on Walmart, not Walmart getting one over on you. Out of the abundance of reasons to hate Walmart, this may not be one of them.

I think it's kind of an Amazon-style thing where they have independent sellers for stuff that handle shipping and warehousing
