I'm not exploiting vulnerabilities, im calculating "risk" on the transaction.

You're trading goodwill for greed.

They told me I could return it.

They gave me a 90 day evaluation window.

They did this because it benefits them.

I paid 35% above retail for the card.

And I'm the greedy one ? really ?

Someone needs redpilled on how the monkey planet really works, which was the entire point of this post.

We can choose to spend months crying about card prices and waiting for christmas, or ...

We can choose to analyse the market, calculate risk for our projects, and move forward confidently after doing so.

Or, we can stand on the sidelines and throw rocks at the marathon contestants because they pooped on our lawn.

Choose wisely.

You're a dishonest person who seized a mechanism that improves our consumer experience for your personal gain.

Yes

Edit: I do like that you came back to edit a whole bunch more into your reasoning. So I'll do the same.

I like that you describe yourself as someone who shits on other people's lawns.

I fully believe that you randomly shit on other people's lawns but this marathon you've imagined yourself in is pure delusion.

If you’re returning a product you used because you wanted to pretend it was a rental at the seller’s expense, bluntly, you’re as much the problem as the seller.

Thank you for contributing to current year.

Everyone in the heirachy above you is an exploitative business psychopath. Might as well exploit their calculated greed as they attempt to exploit your empathy.

		Yes, that does continue the cycle. Seems like a great way to help the species get a bit lower still.

Calculating the financial risk of a transaction before committing to it is a problem to you ?

MBA school calls it responsible corporate stewardship.

		No, as I said, it’s committing said transaction and then reversing it at the expense of the other party that I take issue with. As for MBA school, don’t really give a shit how it is colorfully worded to attempt to excuse it.
