6HZ1W3J, do you honestly believe that you are allowed to “buy” anything and use it with the intention of returning it after it has been used? That is gezeilah! NO you DON’T have a right to buy something with the intention of using it and returning it. YOU can only BUY something with the intention of keeping it. You can only return it if it is broken or if it doesn’t work in the intention it was supposed to. So for all those that “buy” a tv in the summer to watch a certain game, or buy a certain toy just to return at the end of the season because Walmart is a huge store and can resell it, that is NOT permitted by halacha, is considered “gezeilah” and is a chilul Hashem. It is NOT your business that they can sell it again, and it is NOT your business whether they can get full price or not, whether they make more sales if you do this or not, it is your business that you are “stealing” from them when you do this and committing aveiros. Your way of thinking is crooked and not Yashar.
