Say, for example, a person suffers from buyer's remorse and wants to return something to a store that issues only exchanges or store credits. In this scenario, the person doesn't really want anything else from the store.
Since the credit is for a lot of money, is it illegal (or morally questionable) to:
Post an ad online that says "If you shop at X, I will meet you there and buy your items in the amount of $X in exchange for $X-40 in cash."
This way, a person would only be out $X-40 instead of $X, and the person who responded to the ad would be making $40. It's like giving away money. The only person who loses is the person who placed the ad, but that person is going to lose anyway because if they don't place the ad, they will be stuck taking, because of the credit, overly priced pants and belts and possibly shoes that they don't really want in a self-financed shopping spree at a place they don't really like because of overly aggressive obnoxious salespeople that brainwash shoppers into buying things that they don't really want for insane amounts of money.
For example.

What did you get brainwashed into buying?
I'm surprised that you can't get your money back. If you have receipts and everything, you should be able to get your money.
A dress for the tacky wedding. Ugh. I hate aggressive salespeople. I want to tell this story but I will become, again, insane and enraged. I threw a shoe at home over this. And then cried for too long, because I am weak when it comes to almost looking pretty.
The solution to this problem ended up being exchanging said dress for a pair of jeans I'd normally never be able to afford, a new hoodie, and new matching pajama bottoms just to GET OUT OF THE GODFORSAKEN STORE. After, of course, it took them no less than 37 minutes to figure out how to process a store credit, and after they harassed me AGAIN, and after they accused me of not bringing the dress back intact. And then, of course, writing a scathing review on Citysearch begging people to NEVER EVER EVER EVER SHOP THERE.
Hate hate hate.
