    Better idea.

    Get a Costco executive membership. They will let you return anything, no matter how old it is. I should know, I work in a Costco processing returns in the back, which is where I’m typing this.

    Last week I processed a return on a couch that was 4 years old. The member got a full refund of 5k, and we’re going to eat that because the vendor has a credit limit of two years.

    Costco’s internal numbers say that people who return stuff spend twice as much over the course of a year compared to non-returners and they will do anything to keep that sweet membership fee coming in. So you can literally recycle your entire house on the cost of a single yearly payment.
