No deal. I checked with 3 TRUs and they require a receipts because of the
price of the item being return. One of the managers explained to me that,
for any item $200 or more, a receipts is required. The set scanned in at
$199.99, before tax. I even asked them for part of the refund, and they said
that the computer bars them from doing it (ie, if the item is $200 or more
there's an automatic tripwire).

Please see my response to Matt.
