Just to be devil's advocate... Buy three Prime Judges, turn around and "Return" them for the most expensive thing you can get? Seems sketchy. "I'll take two McBeth signature Destroyers and a Sexton signature DD for $8 a piece please."

I'm guessing the actual policy indicates trading for discs of equal or lower retail price.

I think it's really smart because it entices the buyer to try a trilogy disc BEFORE any other brand. There's no risk.

It says "whatever disc you want in the store of any brand" I would hope they don't allow that kind of loophole, but it seems easy enough to scam...
However, if it is equal or lesser value, it's a great idea. I would definitely have used this on a few Trilogy purchases.

Unrelated, but I didn't really want to start a new thread for it...
Am I the only one who thinks this DD (formerly known in connection with cool daddy slick breeze) doesn't have a good voice for promotion, broadcasting, etc.?

Is there stopping someone from buying, for example, an identical orange opto Saint to one they already own. And then, after a good dawn scrub, "returning" their old, beat one that has become flippy. The retailer can't call them a liar when they try to return that chunked up disc if they insist it is the same one. "But, I am not satisfied because it took damage THIS quickly!!"
Or am I missing the point entirely?

I'm sure they are hoping people aren't scrubs and abuse the program. It sounds like an innovative idea and I applaude them for it.

Yeah, they can hope a lot of things. But the retail world brings out the sleaze. And thieves seize on opportunity. Hopefully my concern does not come to fruition.
Just seems to me, if you don't like a disc you bought, suck it up. Sell it for a few bucks less. Store it until a later date when it might fit your game better. Give it to a friend. Trade it. And save everyone the hassle. But I do see that Trilogy's heart is in the right place. That is nice to know.

As a current scammer, I find the new buyback program amazing.

This seems to be about "Customer Service"......giving the customer a fail safe on any discs they purchase....since I have been in the Hospitality Industry for over 30 years, I get it...
Sure there will be scammers, but scammers will find a way to scam regardless of policy...based on my own personal experience, I feel MOST folks are basically honest.
Is there a financial benefit to the retailers that participate? YES....repeat business and happy customers...those two things will offset most, if not all scamming going on....

Only slightly off topic, but have you noticed that DG's notion of customer service ALWAYS includes sh^t going haywire?
"Retailer X shipped me the wrong disc twice, and on the third try they got it right. Can't say enough about this excellent customer service!"
But a business does the right thing first time, completely invisible. A smart DG business would screw up constantly and be hands-folded happy to make it right.
Yup, good post. They should have a pretty good idea that scams will happen and will have carefully weighed the advantages to loss. Open return policies are common in retail and surely have a percentage of scam cost built in.
Why does a retailer need DDs word to do something like this if its such a great idea in the first place? Seems like we should all just be able to return discs we purchase at whatever retail store if it truly would be such a good thing for business. 30 years in the hospitality industry sometimes makes you forget the customer ISNT always right
Trilogy also might want to have discs fly like advertised flight #s

Still too much salt on the fries. I enjoy DD's energy and creativeness.

Be interesting to see which (if any) local retailers get on board with this program.

Map shows a few places around the country have already jumped on.. Air traffic toy stores here show as approved but not GGGT.
Maybe like 40 stores on board so far?
