I suspect that buyers return them when they don't hear any sound and/or see any picture.
I guess ALL HDMI is HDCP, meaning that no TV or monitor will display picture nor play sound when connected.

I bought one at Best Buy and it was one that was marked down as an opened package. It was priced at $39.95. Open package was $35.00.
The reason it was returned is it worked very poorly. The audio was very weak on OTA reception and on my hard drive recorder, it had a loud hum.
I bought Walmart one and it worked a lot better for a lot less model.
I bought three on line which were exactly the same as the one from W/M for less than $10 each including postage. They work fine.
