true. it could be a large scam. I got caught with $75 of pants i intended to return to j peterman when they declared bankruptcy about 12 years ago. they wouldnt take them back even when they came back in reorganized fashion. as long as we spend the money quickly though, it might be worth the risk.
but probably not a good plan for meeting all of your literary needs in retirement.
this scheme is technically limited by $1000 limit ofn gift card exchanges, but in reality, it’s limited only by your sense of shame in returning tot he cash register and your motivation to drive to other barnes and nobles when/if they cut you off…
