Another analogy would be finding something for $100 at Walmart, and then finding an ID on the ground for Sams Club, gaining access by using that card & getting the product $15 cheaper.
Now based on your example you would have taken the price tag off another device that was for "employees only" and placed that tag on your item to get the lower price. It's not your fault they had something on the shelf marked "employees only" They should have kept it locked up, right? It's not your fault you stole.
Regardless of your credentials, it is considered fraud. While Sprint may rework the scripting simply because litigation is financial irresponsible for them to pursue, it does not mean the actions you are taking by exploiting the system are legal or morally right.

Thanks for being an upstanding citizen! I hope you get something out of being a rat. I see people, everyday, returning phones for stuff they shouldn't have done. (Ex: flashing, warez, etc) THATS FRAUD! This is not. Sprint should worry about that. Obviously they're not too worried about the apple website since it's still up.
Quit hatin and be happy for the people that got deals. I'm looking at my brand new $200 TP2 and I didn't have to argue and lie to retentions about leaving for Verizon, to get it. It took me 5 minutes of surfin the web and 24 hours later....tadaa! A Touch Pro 2!!!
My quarrel is with Sprint giving corporate discount to companies like CitiGroup. A company that MY tax dollars are going to save! And yet those corporate A-holes are getting 27% off plans and phones for $250 less than what your average tax paying, hard-working citizen is getting?

That's why I took advantage of this loop-hole. I'm against nickel and diming Sprint to death. You can check a previous post for that. My only complaint against Sprint is who they give discounts to and for what amount. 15% for military and 27% for cheats on Wall Street?! (for example) That's a joke.
It was your decision not to take advantage of this. Let everyone else live in peace. Thanks for standing up for corporate America. I'm sure they'll return the favor...hhahaa
