Okay, technically I can't find anything wrong with this, but it could probably get you kicked out of a store. So I figured I'd run it by you guys.
Say you go into a game store that takes trade-ins. You're by the counter and some mother has a stack of her kid's game's that she's trading in. You clearly hear the manager say he'll give $8 for, let's say, Mario Advance for GBA. You then speak up, reach into your wallet, and offer to take the game for $10.
Technically, is there anything the store can do to stop you? I came really close to doing this a while ago, so it got me thinking. Maybe there's some law relating to it... I mean worse comes to worst, you could just discreetly whisper your offer to someone, step outside the store, and complete the transaction. It's bound to piss people off, but would you be in any danger otherwise?
