Is changing price tags stealing?

I have a question. Is it stealing if you change the price tags on an item and buy it? It is stealing, right? Because my old friend did it and fought with me saying it wasn't!

I know everyone else told you this but.................. YEAH ITS STEALING!

eh..I dont think its stealing because your still paying money to have the item..but I think its stupid to switch price tags..you either steal it or pay for it!

hahaha. that's funny. but sort of a good idea...
nice.
it is stealing since it's worth more than you got it for... but it isn't because you are still paying for it... kind of like xrubyx2399 said... but it's mostly is stealing

haha. that still makes me giggle.

It's stealing.

yeah it kinda iz

Its stealing

it's not stealing but is against the law.

yea its stealing because there gettin ripped on the money

yes I suppose it is still stealing but not quite as bad because at least your friend payed something for the item

stealing!!!! if you got caught doing that you wuld be charged under law the same as if you had walked out of the store and stolen it

yeah it is pretty much stealing b/c you dont pay the full price, when they probably paid more for the item than he/she did when tags were switched

by law it is still considerd stealing even if it is swiched with a more expensive price tag, but if you get cought its up to the store if they want to press charges.

your old friend is crazy! hahaha

its pretty much stealing but yea its cheap

Think about it. Eventually the item will be on sale at a huge discount so the store makes money regardless if the item is sold for $40 or $4. Ask yourself, how many times have you bought an item at full price, only to come back 2 weeks later and see it on sale or clearance. The stores aren't losing a thing when you switch a tag. If they don't sell it, it will wind up at Ross or some discount store anyway.
