Thanks for the Borders tip. I returned the Live Free or Die Hard 1-disc DVD that my friend gave me for X-Mas (I already had the 2-disc set) and got a return gift card for $21.64 ($19.99 + tax).....Unfortunately, it was on sale, but hell it's better than nothing.
I'm surprised it went so smoothly the girl scanned it, got a manager approval and the gift card was mine!

www.bordersstores.com
Then go to "Shop borders.com"
and it will link you through to a special Amazon page. You can only buy CD/DVDs/Books though....gold box items will NOT work.

But serriously, all the borders DVD's are sealed in a security case and all of them have a distinct Border's price tag on the front. Don't know how they would have thought you stole them.

You can do returns all year long, not just after Xmas. The only thing that is required is that the store that you return it to has the title currently in stock(they will look it up on their computer to check to see if it's in their inventory). You can check an individual store's inventory at this site- www.bordersstores.com . They will give you a gift card that you can use online at Amazon. However, I heard that Borders is going to start their own online site early next year and will break their arrangement with Amazon(you might want to use up your credit quickly because I doubt that the prices at the new site will be cheaper than that at Amazon). I hope this helps.

But do they really think people buy DVDs at Borders at 2x the price at Best Buy? C'mon.
I have another stack going back tomorrow night at a different Borders. Gotta make room for the new HD/BR movies!

One thing to look out for is that may get you is that certain retailers like Best Buy or Circuit City sometimes has a distinct UPC sticker on their DVD's to cover the original one.

That's fine...two of the three have Best Buy price stickers - the third one doesn't, but my mother said she got all three of them at once. I'll probably give it a shot right before close tomorrow. Would they just give an in-store credit?

Yes, they will only give you credit.

I'll be returning my "free" sealed Dukes of Hazzards HD DVD in a few days. Should get me $24.99 at Best Buy. This is the best time to unload sealed movies you have.

I'm wondering what my chances are in returning my Halo 3 Legendary Edition w/ helmet to BB. They have it listed on their website, but with no in-store p/u available.

My local BB had a whole stack of them last Saturday, but they were onsale for 79.99 I think, so if you bought it new, even if they took it back, you might lose some money.
