  • anyway,...(after F2S/PIPEX ruined my access to this site)

    why not ring the store? just say you bought them a replicar gift and that its in original condition with receipt? You might be able to get your money back

    I do like to give nice gifts and if i spot a bargain buy it in advance. my relatives are probably on £60,000 a year and I earn a lot less than them. The thought and effort that went into my daughters present was minimal, which is why I am not giving them the arcade alley. I have sold it to someone i know for £29.99, which is what i paid for it.
    Just about to give up!

    why I am not giving THEM

    Sorry i thought the present was for the nephew not the parents?

    Maybe you would make them feel guilty, or they'd spend more next year? I really cant see why you're holding it against the child when its not his fault!
    A bargain is only a bargain if you would have brought it anyway!
