I just bought a game called "Hotrod American Street Drag" and I got my money back. Thats right, I carfully removed the cd from the shrink wrap without tearing the plastic, burned it, then used an ultra thin layer of elmer's wood glue to seal the shrink wrap back on. It looked like shit and the box was no longer sealed (the plastic tape circle looses it's stickyness after one use), but they took it back and gave me my hard earned $30 back. Now I have beer with the money that should have gone into a starving programmers pocket.

The trick is all in how you open the packaging. Use a razor knife to remove the circular tape seals on the ends of the box so that none of the ink sticks to it. Second, use the razor to separate the seams of the shrink wrap on the actual CD. Don't cut the plastic, just pull the overlaping portions apart so you can glue them later.
Another trick that I havent done yet is to tape a small piece of gift wrap somewhere on the box and then if you get any static from the cashier, just say "I don't even have a computer, I bouth this for my nephews birthday but my sister got him the same thing.". This will draw attention away from the fact that your trying to rip them off.

I've been defrauding walmart for years. Its so easy. Recently I took a shopping cart full of random lumber and told them it used to be a desk that fell apart due to unsatisfactory quality and they gave me my "money" back.

It's a good idea to watch sale items as well. Once I bought Rise of Nations from Circuit City for $20, burned it, and returned it to Target without a receipt for $40 in store credit. :/

Did it have a target price tag and did you have no recipt?

thats an old trick. i ve done it with cd's so many times. i'd burn the cd, scratch the original with a key and swap it to the same company, yet in a different store in different location. i'm way ahead of your league.

Whatever happened to that old "earning money, buying things with it, and keeping them" system?

That's a good question. I kinda miss the sound of the scanner scanning the barcode.

But if you just scratch it you would obviously only be exchanging it. I don't wan't to exchange anything, I want my god damn money back in my wallet where it was born. I only made this thread to start some conversation, I been doing this shit for years as well. But this is the first time I had to make it look as though I never opened it. I used to just say my computer didn't have enough ram, or my video card was shitlisted in the readme.txt and I had no way of knowing that when I bought it, but now they scrutize the packaging. Every time I go to return software to wal mart the say the same thing "technicaly were not supposed to accept software because of copywright problems." However when I ask what kind of problems they quickly change the subject. (because the customer service rep is a retard.)

Well, judging by your avatar, you seem believable. I would believe you if I was the customer service rep.

It didnt have a target price tag and i didnt have a receipt. The guy made me show my id though. That's why i didnt buy like 10 copies of the game, return them to random targets use my store credit to buy a tv and then return it with the receipt. :/

You can't burn a TV. Well you could but it wouldn't come out the same.
BTW there are fire trucks parked outside my house now. what the fuck?

lol :( I wouldnt be able to burn the tv but i wouldve made $200 into $400... So I COULD buy a $200 tv start it on fire and still have my original $200!

I did that with duke nukem 3d once. I installed it and took it back to office depot. They just took it and i got to keep the game cuz the disk wasnt required to play! Plus it came with the old side scroller DN's too. Pretty sweet.
On the subject of Wal-Mart, they can all just go to the endless pit of hell. My local 24 hr Super K-Mart recentlly closed and then wal-mart just became the haven for low prices and dirty mea-he-cans fighting over 2 fer 1 thomas' bagles. I CAN'T EVEN FRIGGN UNDERSTAND THE DAMN CHECKER! AAAHHHHHH LEARN ENGLISH!

Recently I took a shopping cart full of random lumber and told them it used to be a desk that fell apart due to unsatisfactory quality and they gave me my "money" back. Me too, today in fact I took an entire truckload of old rags to their door, and told them the entire wardrobe I bought from them fell apart due to unsatisfactory quality, and they gave me my "money" back as well.
I used quotes around the "money" because that's what I called the punch in the face I got.

In Russia, Wal-mart has you assinated for defrauding the company that is actually owned by the secret police of the Soviet Union and will not be made a fool of! All will comply, or be terminated!
