I picked up The Dark Knight at Costco for $10.99.

Are you guys selling your DVD copies of titles you pick up in Blu Ray? I don't know what to do with the ones I have.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I normally use them to create digital copies or for kids entertainment.

Yeah, I know.
I am just getting ones I don't already have on Blu-ray. The slip covers are nice and all, but I don't need to rebuy the same versions of the Bourne trilogy, 40 year old Virgin, Apollo 13, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, etc just for a new slip cover. Hard to believe, but I do have my limits!

Same here. I'm just sticking to the one's i don't have yet.

Been on a Big Bang Theory kick as of late. I don't purchase DVD's except for TV sets and the BluRay prices for these sets aren't justifable (or complete). So...

Picked up Seasons 1-4 through amazon.com for $14.99 each. I think Season 4 went up to $15.49 though...Season 1 is back up to $26.99.

Also, picked up
Independence Day (Blu) from amazon for $5.99 shipped (I have a trial Prime membership for purchasing a Kindle Fire)

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.

I wasn't going to say anymore, but this made me laugh. Do l have a ____ing gun pointed at Walmarts head saying give me the money. They give you the same amount for the item they sell it for and still make money. After the transaction they are not in the red, so it is NOT stealing.

Example. l take the movie back, they give me walmart money for what the item is worth, lets say $25. They then put that item on the shelf and sell it, they get their $25 back they are now even in the transaction (no money gained or lost). Then the $25 gift card they gave me l spend at their store where they make another $25 off me, so they made money, you still call that stealing

Who knows, l better be careful when exchanging a legit bought item, l even said it's from Best Buy, the clerk didn't care, l guess she is my accomplice and will go to the bighouse with me, actually Walmart itself is my accomplice as well, they know they take unopened items bought from other stores, guess they are stealing other stores products (even though the movie/item l bring in is mine, no longer the possesion of the previous store since l paid for it).

I am sure if Walmart was losing money by taking in exchanges for items without receipts they would put a stop to it, yet they continue to do so, so l am sure they know what they are doing, they're not stupid.

how much was that set?

 

[Morbach]

I gotta get that set too!

I wasn't going to say anymore, but this made me laugh.

Okay. It's not stealing, but still patently dishonest.

Okay, that's all l wanted to hear because it is not stealing, regardless what others said (I explained it at the top of the page) neither store loses money so there is no stealing involved. Though it may be slightly dishonest, but everyone is slightly dishonest at times.

You're taking money under false pretense. That's stealing. You can lable it fraud or whatever you like, it's still stealing.

Didn't mean to give him ammunition against my argument. Whoops.

And it's not "slightly dishonest," it's patently dishonest. Like I said twice before. You did buy five of one item just to "work the system," right? Seems shady, and like subterfuge to me, and maybe even fraudulent or larcenous as others have suggested.

But whatever, I'm done with this useless debate...

Can't wait for the Jaws bluray. Hope I can make it!

I guess you aren't being dishonest if you go into the store and say, "These were purchased somewhere else, can I return them here instead and get a store credit?" Then you are totally at the mercy of their return policy. But if you approach them dishonestly or deceptively, it's wrong.

Target requires your driver's license for returns without a receipt, the cumulative limit per person is $75 worth of store credit per year, and the return value is automatically lowered to their lowest sale price of the last 90 days. So more and more stores are putting some policies in place to protect themselves from being taken advantage of in situations like this. Retailers have had to shift their philosophies from "The customer is always right" to "The customer is probably trying to steal from you as creatively as possible, all while looking you straight in the eye with a smile on their face." I worked retail customer service for about three years right after I got married, and if there was a way for a customer to try and abuse the system, they would try it.

I think that at some level, all thieves can justify their actions to themselves, and there is a bit of a spectrum of unethical behavior that requires us to examine ourselves and draw a line in the sand at some point. But not everybody's line is in the same place. Some people want to get as close to the edge of the law as possible, while some people want to treat others the way they might like to be treated if the tables were turned.

Whoever you are, tomandshell, I love you.

Very eloquently stated.

As l said before I did tell her 2 sets of the james bonds l returned at the same time were from Best Buy, she didn't care. So i see nothing wrong with it if they don't. Anyway l am done with this conversation too.
