No, but the person who gave it to me did.

Depends on your code of ethics. Is it unethical to buy a stock at a low
price and sell it at a high one?

My guess (and as Mike Walsh confirms) is that they give in-store credit.

What if you bought it somewhere for half off and then you sold it on, say,
eBay for more than what you paid for it? Is that dishonest also?
In any case, I don't really intend to return it. I was asking a hypothetical
and tongue-in-cheek question.
It was a very nice and thoughtful gift, and I wouldn't want to cheapen it by
attempting to take advantage of the system.
