I bought some(3 boxes) cbe digital opks on ebay for less than half of the retail price but they all expire in a month.Should I exchange them at a local retail store for a store credit (would total about $120). Or should I tell them I just purchased them and they are expired and just swap them for fresh (non expired) of the same product? What would you do? Please no flames, but just in case I'm wearing my flame retardant panties!
Best day of my life

Re: Opinions please
Did you buy them off ebay knowing the expiration date? If not, then I would contact the seller although I'm not sure they would do anything.
No, you should not try to exchange or return them to a store. You did not purchase them there.
So essentially, you are SOL.
I guess my question is, did you buy them 1/2 price knowing they were about to expire or did the seller pull the wool over your eyes.
To me, if you bought three months worth of something you knew would expire before then, then you made the bed so lie in it. It's dishonest to return a product knowing that it could end up back on the shelf and someone unknowingly buys them.
If you bought them and weren't made aware of it, I'd contact the seller and complain to them.

Wow, you are a douche. and a thief.
Um, yeah. Stores have bottom lines too, not just mom and pop stores. Sorry, but if you can't afford to be honest, should you really be procreating? I don't normally hop on the 'you're not ready' but I think if you can't see the major dishonesty/douchiness of this whole thing, you're really not ready.

"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
um, you knew they were expiring, you bought them anyway, now you want money back so they don't expire? Explain to me how this makes you somehow not a douche/thief.
Why did you buy them if you knew they were about to expire?
I'd buy a steak that's about to expire if I'm going to eat it that day, but I wouldn't buy three steaks I couldn't eat in time.
You paid someone on eBay for them (knowing they were going to expire), & now are wanting to return them to a store (that you did not purchase them from) whilst lying to them about it. You are wanting the store to give you non-expired goods in exchange for expired ones that you did not purchase from them.
Yes, you are a thief. & a liar.
You didn't buy it from them. You didn't pay full price. You are going to exchange them for a newer full price item. they store will then have to lose what you return from their inventory because they are no longer good. You have no intention of making up the difference to the store. How is that not stealing? And who gives a crap what size the store is? Not paying the price they have listed is stealing.

Why don't you just go in & pocket what you need? Why even bother "returning" the expired stuff? The store will write it off, & I mean, it's not like it's a Mom & Pop operation.
But that's stealing! Oh, wait.
I seriously cannot comprehend how you do not see what is wrong with your little scheme.
The store has a 90 day return policy for ITEMS PURCHASED IN THEIR STORE.
FFS. And what happened to your flame retardant pants?
Because in this situation, you would have actually PAID for the items. Paying someone on eBay =/= paying the store. You really can't see the difference?
ETA: & we are questioning your procreation because you *obviously* have stellar morals to pass on to the next generation. That whole "raising a productive member of society" deal is such a drag.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
But you didn't buy this product from the store! You don't have a reciept proving it. you'd think you would want to teach your children honesty, but fail to grasp a simple concept like theft by deception.
hey moron, besides the obvious sarcasm you missed here, why do you need to "even the score" if there's nothing wrong with what you're doing?
FAIL. On so many, many levels.
"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
Yes, a 90 day return policy for something that was purchased from THEIR store! You did not purchase the OPK's from their store! You are a whole new level of speshul if you don't see how this is wrong.
Bwahahahahahahahaha
awesome
But only if you lie to them & tell them that you *thought* you were buying an inground Olympic size lap pool from them. That's the key.
Oh, & don't worry about karma - you donated those awesome pants to Goodwill, so you're safe. They are worth AT LEAST an Olympic size swimming pool!
Ebay seller buys sticks from Target sells them to you. Target +$120, Ebay seller -$120
Ebay seller sells them to you for $30. Target +$120, Ebay Seller - $90, You -$30
You take them to Walmart and exchange them for 3 boxes from their stock, giving them product that they can not resell for full retail value. Target +$120, Ebay seller - $90, You -$30, Walmart -$120.
How is this unclear to you.
I don't care how much of your ugly crap you give to goodwill, you're still stealing from Walmart. If you are unable (financially) and unwilling (moral/intellectual) to be honest, I don't think you should be procreating.
I also don't see how that is unclear to you.

For real. However, since this is an ae, the DD risk goes down.

*slams head against wall*
Oh, well, since you used to work retail and they have insurance to protect themselves against accidental loss, it's ok to knowingly and willingly steal. I guess you win this argument.
FFS, I hope you have a helmet on because with all of this backpedaling, you're going to seriously end up falling on your a$s

There is a huge difference between returning a resell-able item to a store without knowing where it was originally purchased and knowingly purchasing an item that is near its expiration with the intent of exchanging it from a store you know you didn't buy it from in order to obtain a usable product on the cheap.
You're either really dense, a muddy troll, or both.
At least the store can re-sell the unwanted baby gift. Unlike your expired OPKs.
Look, "return" them or don't. You won't get arrested. But it's kind of douchey.
Did you mean morally and intellectually?
