People like you are the reason we can't have nice things because you steal them. In other words no.

Whoa guys, no need for the negative. I asked what you guys thought of the idea. I have not done this yet. I was on the fence about doing it, so i decided to ask the rest of the board what you thought. Seems like most of you say its frowned apon. So, i will keep it to have moc and use as trade bait down the road.

No, this is not ok to do. This is fraud and theft. You are intentionally returning product to a store that it was not purchased from for the sole purpose of returning it to take money that was not originally yours as part of the purchase (theft).
I would recommend NOT doing this, and I would also recommend not making posts about schemes like this, because you'll probably end up getting banned.

No need for the name calling and finger pointing.

I get what you are saying, but it is essentially a price match if you think about it. I wouldnt be doing it to gain cash. Id be doing it only to get a different figure i dont currently own.

Considering you're stealing $11 and returning an item to a different company, no, it's not ok.

It's not a price match. A price match is when you tell them the price that another store is selling something for and then they sell it to you for that price. You are buying something from another store, returning it to a different store WITHOUT A RECIEPT and planning on getting a gift card to purchase another figure. Since you brought up "price matching".....uhhhhhh, WHY NOT JUST PRICE MATCH TO BEGIN WITH? Just walk into Walmart and be like "hey, (whatever store you said) is selling Elites for $9.99, will you price match?"......if the store you bought the Batista at has a web site, pull it up on your phone and show them, or take a pic of the price tags at the other store to show Walmart. I price match all the time, but do it LEGIT, not all shady.

Because your gaining $11 ...lol. hes talking about you not the company... worm let it go bro... you made a mistake asking... lol... edit: but if your buying another figure.. i guess i see your logic behind it...if your buying another figure.. because tech its a wash...so maybe its ok in those terms but youd still be gaining the $11 to buy that figure from that store.

This is actually illegal. You're asking Walmart to basically buy the figure from you, under the pretext of a return, when in fact you never bought the figure from Walmart to begin with. How can any of you find this to be "okay"? Walmart's getting screwed. Yes, people will argue, "Well, Walmart screws over consumers/employees everyday." Except there, no one is forcing you to visit Walmart and there's no trickery. Here, you're not being upfront with Walmart about where the product came from. This deception is illegal.

On the one hand, Wall Mart has a lax return/ exchange policy. They agreed to the exchange in the hopes that you would return their kindness by purchasing items from them in the future. In that sense, they're okay with it so it's okay. I guess the determining factor would be how you feel about it. 1.) You're really speculating about the spirit behind Walmart's return policy. I think it's far more logical to assume Walmart accepts returns without receipts because of how annoyed its consumers get when they can't return items that they legitimately purchased from Walmart because they no longer have the receipt. I can't see any company setting up a policy with the rationale that consumers will use it for their personal gain, and that's okay. 2.) No, the determining factor is not how you feel about it. If that were the case, the world would be more screwed up than it already is. The determining factor is following the law, doing what's right.

If that were the case, the world would be more screwed up than it already is. The determining factor is following the law, doing what's right. Without getting into specifics, I disagree. I have worked in retail for many years and have had the honor of directing the course of return policies. I can tell you from personal experience that retail stores do in fact take it easy on returns specifically to satisfy customers and encourage repeat business. They also sometimes institute strict return policies when they value discouraging fraudulent returns over satisfying customers. Both options incur a certain amount of risk. Wall Mart, being an industry leader, has levied the risk of rewarding the occasional dishonest customer against attempting to dissuade them from engaging in fraudulent behavior and opted for the former. Perhaps by taking a $10 hit on an Elite they end up with a long term customer that ends up giving them more money than that customer takes. I guess what I'm saying is that your view appears to be more absolute in your determining of right from wrong while mine is more nuanced. I don't really think there is a "right" or "wrong" answer to this question. It's subjective. By agreeing to process the exchange Wall Mart is taking a risk. The pay off is a satisfied customer. That customer may decide to continue to game Wall Mart's return policy. But they may also decide start buying their groceries, kids clothes, electronics, and whatever else there. That risk is the cost of doing business.

In a way it's the same as scalping... Buying a figure with the intent to sell it to another entity at a price increase. I understand that you are "scamming" Walmart by returning a figure that you knowingly didn't buy there, but if you do a stright exchange on the figure, they will sell the Bautista and make their money regardless. I think scalping, stealing, and figure switches are worse practices personally.
