Your latest DVD or Blu-Ray

[thenammagazine]

What do you mean sealing, you mean stealing, how the ____ is it stealing, use your brain seriously. I paid for the dvd's in the first plce and just returned them for the same amount of money Walmart sells them for so there is no stealig involved..

It would only be stealing if l stole the movies from other stores then brought them to wamart for the gift cards, l don't do that of course because that's stealing.

You paid for them at one store and you're taking them somewhere else and getting more than what you paid for them by returning themto a store that never bought them. Use your brain. At best, you'd only be entitled to get back what you paid for it returning it to the store you bought it from. You're a thief, bub. What's more, there's something to be said for the imbecilic nature of bragging about it. Do you really think we'll think, "Damn, that thief is cool as hell for ripping off Walmart like that!"

I guess all the people who use mass amounts of coupons and getting 90% off are also stealing.

How is what l am doing stealing, because if it is l wil stop? I bought a movie at a sale price (legal) then brought it back to walmart, returning items unopened witout a reciept (legal) it's part of Walmarts policy is they take other stores items as long as they are unopened and they give you a git card for the price they sell that item for. Then l take those girft cards and BUY (not stealing) other items from their store. So how is this stealing and who am l stealing from?

Since when is it WM's open policy to allow, returns from other retailers? Do you announce when returning that you bought them at BB? If not then youre being deceitful and while it technically isn't stealing, it is fraud. It's a grey area all around and youre not the first nor the last to do it. Whatever helps you sleep at night. I just know that I couldn't consciously do it.

Umm....why do you keep comparing what you do to coupon cutting?? There's no similarity to it at all. What they're doing is buying goods at an advertised discount and keeping it.

What you're doing is buying something on sale, and then returning it to a completely different vendor for full price.

If you don't understand why that's a sham please go tell the manager working at Wal Mart exactly what you're doing and then come back here to report what he/she tell you in response.

I am not ripping off Walmart, how am I? l am giving them and item, they are goving me the same amount they sell that item for, they then take it and put it on th shelf and sell it and get back the money they gave me. If l was steaing from walmart why would they be exchnging my item if they were losing in the deal (they are not) neither is the other store l bought the item from at sale price, they lowered the price (and are still making money) they got my money for their item so the are also happy.

You're giving them an item that's not theirs (lying to them in the process) and taking money for it. Guess that makes you a liar and a thief.

Walmart doesn't care, l got 2 blu rays for Christmas from other stores, l brought them to walmart for a gift card, the woman asked "why am l returning them", my Exact words were " my brother bought me these from Best Buy for Christmas, but l alrady have them, can l exchange them for a gift card insted since l always shop here", she said "no problem", so l don't see the problem if they don't.

Interesting. Where I live, you can only get back the amount you paid for an item (listed on the receipt), not any other amount.

He's returning them without a receipt.

 

[Elendil]

Can't return without a receipt here. Seems to only lend itself to fraudulent transactions... sounds like that here in fact...

Walmart will do the same thing without a reciept. Example, Buy a blu ray at full price, lose the reciept and want to take it back there a couple weeks later still unopened. If the same blu ray is on sale, they will only give you a gift card for what the item is worth at that tme.

That's because you don't need to show the reciepts for unopened items at walmart, they will give you a gift card for the same amount that they sell that same item for. You need walmart reciept if you want cash though.

And when NAM says l am giving Walmart an item that isn't theirs and l am a theif then Walmart should start asking for reciepts because obviously they will get items from others stores. Not only that they know they get items form other stoes and ther poilcy is If you have an item from another store and the item is unopened and don't want for whatever reason they will give you a gift card for the item if it's the same item they sell or else they would require a receipt always. So again l see no problem and Nams argument that they are now selling others stores items that are not theirs makes no sense. Not only that the item is mine to bring where ever l please after l bought it from the first store.

Yes you can. Only way Walmart wont take an item is if an item from another store has a specific store/sale barcode sticker over top the original barcode sticker on the item packaging. Other then that they will take the item and give a gift card no problem.

It's just working the system...

I suppose I should have let Sideshow's error in charging me only $180 for a $300 item last week just slide and call it "working the system," and remain part of the problem and what is wrong with this world instead of bringing it to their attention and being charged the remainder of the balance. Just my little attempt to remain honest.

I suppose you will remain a bit wealthier by being, yes, dishonest. But I choose to keep my karma clean by remaining honest.

Your dishonesty may serve your own purposes, or needs if you wish, but it will certainly not serving the needs of society as a whole.

So I guess:

My honesty = less money for me, stupidity, and a clean conscience and karma.
Your dishonesty = more money for you, smarter choice, and ?????

I am not bragging, l am defending myself. I bought a blu ray from a store on sale (they are happy) that item is now mine to do what l want with it. I take it to walmart and follow their policy of taking items without a reciept, they give me a gift card for the same amount they sell that item for, put it on the shelf and sell it (they are happy) there are no mistakes or error happening to take advantage of like in your situation.

i am simply following two stores policies, l see no problem with it. Same thing with the extreme couponers, they follow the stores policies and get items almost for free and if you watch that show some of them have actually gone in the negative and the store has owed them money, so what l did is no different in my opinion.

Your same situation happened to me a couple weeks ago. I bought the first 3 Alien movies on blu ray separately, total was $35. Later that day l saw the Alien Antholgy was on sale at best buy for $49.99 only $15 more the what l paid for the 3 movies, so l said for $15 more l get the 4th movie and lots of special features for only $15 more. so l returned the first 3 to futureshop The girl at the till gave me $39 back instad of $36, l said you gave me a couple bucks extra, l gave it back to her, so yeah l a no theif and will no take if there was an error.

This is my opinon once l originally bought the item it is my item to do what l want with it, whether l want to take it to Walmart and get a gift card for full price of sell it to someone else for more, it is mine. When l take it to walmart l am doing nothing wrong because l am following the stores policy and they are happy after the transaction so there is nothing wrong with it (they sell the item l gave them). Far from stealing. Is someone who buys a figure from Sideshow and sells i for more right after stealing, of course not, what l did is no different.

Wow! Your logic just totally escapes me.

Not judging you, but based on others agreement in this case, I still consider you to be patently dishonest.

But thank you for reminding me why I admire the likes of nam, MadCow, and a few other morally just members around here.

Story of my life...

Part of the reason I have turned to meditation this past year, I have me, and only me to answer to, less arguments, etc.

 

[Batty]

I have to agree with the rest of these lunkheads. If it seems dishonest, it probably is. You're basically getting money (or gift cards) for doing nothing. How is that right?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Yeah, i gotta step it up



Don't know, i haunt seen it. I've heard bad things but my brother said it was pretty good. Also, Zoe Saldana is in it, so it won't be a total loss if it sucks

Hit the last Best buy for Kane... They wanted $35 !!!!!

Then we wonder why the prices in different stores keep going up ! Consumers need to pay when the profit margins are affected.

Wal-mart pays you $ X.XX for an item, and sells it for $ X.XX. Seems like commerce at it's best.

They don't pay retail for anything. You are basically robbing them of their profit margin. Sounds like theft in my state.

Coupons are like cash to any store that takes them. They are subsequently submitted for credits taking money off the store's bottom line and helps to off-set costs increasing their profit margin.

Those two don't sound the same.

Theft vs. Business.

And if you are caught, depending on the dollar amount (such as your Bond transaction) they are legally able to press charges for petty larceny to larceny dependent upon total value.
