Well that was an utter waste of money

[dirge]

There are cooling off periods on contracted items such as plan mobile phones, insurance policies etc. But not on one-off purchases, as MV75 alluded to.

Fairy nuff. Like I said, had that TRU staff insisted that I wouldn't be able to refund/exchange Grievous I would've kept it.

[roller]

sure if you have the money to waste you can keep it and try and resell the toy at a lower price

but

imagine the satisfaction and power you would gain if you tricked a major store into giving you a refund,moral issues aside of course

[springah]

That's a crock of crap. If you made a mistake buying a crap toy, what gives you the right to return it missing an accessory or say its defective when it aint? Atleast if the item is boxed, the store can try and resell it, but a carded toy is harder to sell and missing accessories will make it harder unless it is significantly discounted. Atleast have the gall to accept you bought a crap toy rather than trying to return it incomplete or pass it off as defective when there was nothing wrong with it in the first place.

Agreed.

Also, learn some self control.

like turning up to meets on time.

With my Gen. Grievous story, at the time I wasn't aware that the consumer cooling period didn't apply with toys. I wasn't intentionally trying to pull a sly one on TRU. I think there's a difference between trying to get a refund because you think you're entitled to one (which was my case) and trying to get a refund despite the fact that you know that you're not entitled to one (and are thus consciously intending to gip the store).

The last time I had a toy exchanged was my 08 Deluxe Bumblebee because it had a defective panel that popped off and couldn't be re-inserted.

I forgot about this tread, Fungal, Dirge. I have keped them, I know not to buy another FAB figure again. But now that i look at how i have them set with some of my other stuff, they don't come off that bad.

Oh yeah, Back on Ebay

I find it rather ironic that most of the forum here watches Animated illegally, most likely d/l music or movies illegally, yet we're worrying about being able to return things when stores openly have a policy of change of mind returns.

[turtle boy]

I wasn't worried about returning it. But like I said, I didn't want to come away empty handed.. And I also thing the 2 figures look ok how i have them set put now.



I still think that the FABs are a waste of money, but you win some you loose some, I lost that round, But am winning the war by about $600 and 15 new figures...

I think you'll find this is not a typical case of returning an item under the "change of mind" policy. What you've suggested is return the item, incomplete when it was originally complete, or state the item was faulty when it never was. Now I'm no saint myself but if I make a mistake then I'll take it with a grain of salt and move on rather than try and justify it by returning it under the pretense of "faulty" or "incomplete". Turtleboy has already stated that he's made a mistake so I'm inclined to leave it at that.

I like the concept of moral relativity there.
