Arrgh! That stupid moment when you buy something and later realize it is a true impulse purchase. Never worn, never really needed. I bought a jacket not too long ago that I now realize I'm not truly happy with, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I bought it at an outlet store that is miles away, and it would be quite a process to return it (seeing as the return policy is that I can only return the outlet item to an outlet store). I still have the tags on it and the receipt, though. Do you chalk it up to learning, still try to return it, or sell it secondhand, etc? What would you do about it?

Unless you are rich and can afford to throw away money, why not return it? So you have to drive a few miles, that's easy enough to do. ------------- . |

I might try to consign it or sell it to a secondhand store. Sometimes they will give you more than you might expect. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

| Don't worry about it, just take it back. |

| I am not rich, nor do I have money just laying around....so, on that note I would DEFINITELY return it! I have no problems driving a while to return something...as long as the money you would receive back out does the gas it would costs. Just my 2 cents. |

Give it to someone as a Chrimbo prezzie. Seriously, you should take it back, but ring them up first to check the returns policy so it's not a wasted trip. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea - http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea Ah-ha, a place I can soon add hair pics...once I do some |

What about a trading party? A good friend of mine has about 4 a year. She invites everyone to her house and it is potluck. Everyone chips in a few bucks for drinks and they bring items that they bought and don't like or bought and never wore or whatever. Usually she does one clothing party, one hair product party, one beauty products and miscellaneous. Sometimes she puts together an email list in advance where people can list what they are bringing and you can even do an advance trade. It is an amazing deal and fun and everyone gets to catch up, have a frozen margarita or some coffee and do a trade. It costs so much less than driving across town to return something and you can really get some great deals in trade. Of coures you don't have to trade if you don't see anything you want to trade for. I once had someone buy a cuff right off my wrist. I wasn't looking to trade the cuff but the person wanted it for her mom and paid me what I paid for it even after I had worn it for a few months. Anyway...something to consider and another option for products that don't work for you after you get them home. Best wishes, Karen Shelton ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |
