    Default Returning a Discounted Item For the Full Price

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: michigan
    I was replying to another guys string, but the post is too old so here is my reply. Let me know what you think.

    I read up on this a little, and what you are describing qualifies as Return Policy Vulnerabilities and Loopholes - not retail fraud. There is a difference. It is not my responsibility to inform the retailer that something I purchased and am returning was a different price. This legitimately happened to me the other day so how could someone know. I bought a clearanced item, showed it to my wife a few days later and she didnt want it. I returned them without a receipt and they gave me full price. I didnt know they were going to, but I am also not going to tell them! It's their problem if their inventory controls on discounted items are screwed up not mine.

    Default Re: Retail Fraud or Not

    The systems of many stores now give you the "LAST" recent lowest price of an item.

    In your situation: Well, how would you prove what you paid for it? Honesty would have been nice, "I think I only paid $4.69, not $7.99"....they'd have looked at their system and said "We think you paid $7.99, so....".

    If that is what happened, you are in the clear - not your fault. You likely had to sign your name on a slip of paper...just don't get cocky and go buy 10 more and return 10 more...
