Gamestop won't let me return an iPhone?

A few days ago I purchased an iPhone 3gs from my local GameStop. The cashier told me I would be able to return it within 7 days if I decided to bring it back.

In the meantime I was able to get my hands on a better phone so I tried to take the phone back to GameStop. I still had everything they gave me… Box, accessories, phone, receipt, etc. Everything.

They turned on the phone and checked the serial number and told me I could not return it because the SN did not match the one on the box/receipt. BUT this was the SAME box in which they sold the phone to me!

Did the cashier who sold me the phone perhaps put the phone in the wrong box with a different SN? What can I do?

You should probably speak to a manager. Gamestop is a rip off never buy from them again. Shop online such as ebay or amazon everything is cheaper online. I brought an iphone 5s for $450.00 on ebay when it retails for $700.00+

  • Will the straight talk sim card work with an Iphone purchased from Gamestop? If i purchase this phone-http://www.gamestop.com/iphone/cell-phones/iphoner-3g-16gb-for-att-black-gamestop-premium-refurbished/98123 Will i be able to purchase a straight talk sim card and use the phone on straight talk?
  • Will gamestop take my iphone 3gs? It works perfectly, but both of the water-damage triggers have been set off due to me accidently dropping it in water for literally a second. I put it in rice for a week, and its perfect. Also, would I have to include any cables?
  • Sold my Iphone to gamestop, what now? I had my water at my house get turned off and I had been behind on my bills for 2 back to back months, so the phone was already out of service, but i had signed a two year contract, 4 months ago. So I went to gamestop and traded it in. If i wanted to get another iphone. Do i just go into sprint and say lost/stolen and buy a brand new one then pay my bill? Should i be good? Or will i get some sort of fine?
  • Should i trade my iphone 4s to gamestop to get a iphone 5? I've only had it for about 2 months and its been in a otterbox so there are no scratches and its a 16GB and att iphone 4s on the site it says i could get $262 but it sounds to good to be true should i go anyways? Its not like a need a iphone 5 but it'd be nice i guess?
