Game return w/o receipt

[ThunderChunky62]

My brother in law bought me a game I really do not want but I feel bad asking for a receipt to return it. Are there any stores that will take a game without receipt for store credit/gift card?

Normally Walmart you can do this, but they usually don't give full credit, and give you whatever they have it marked down as being worth in store for the return.

Alright. Thanks for for the info. Worth a try at least

So if an item you're returning is on sale that day, they will only give you the sale price?


I'm in a similar situation. I got Batman: Arkham City on PS3 but I think I want it on PC so was looking to exchange it for Assassin's Creed: Revelations on PS3.

They'll basically find the lowest price possible they have in the system in the past month or so, whether it was on sale online somewhere, or in store, and they value it to that.

Ask for the receipt and stop trying to commit return fraud?

target (at least the target near me) will take it and give you the full price on a gift card. they require an ID.

Honestly, this time of year, so many people have the same problem, you have a good chance of swapping it for something you want right here, in the trade forum.

(Same problem: extra sealed copy of Revelations, no way to get a receipt without eating crow.)

Im surprised it took this long for another one of these topics to pop up.

how is returning something someone paid for considered return fraud?

Because unless the gift giver purchased it from Wal-Mart, it is return fraud. The idea is that he'd be forcing Wal-Mart to "buy" back his game that was never theirs to begin with.

btw if the game been on sale recently you would get it at sale price and not current price
