In the same line of thought, put yourself in the dealers shoes. Not saying you would, but how does the dealer know you didn't trim the card and when you did not get the result you wanted now want to unload it? If every dealer took returns like this the trimmers would have zero risk buying every card they could since they could always get their money back. Also how does the dealer, weeks later, know this is even the exact same card? Once the card leaves the dealers table they have no way to know what the buyer has done with it. Since one of the posters above mentioned bad dealers, it should also be remembered there are also bad buyers. Furthermore, why does the dealer have to trust the opinion of SGC or anyone else for that matter? You're asking the dealer to take a return based on the opinion of someone they may or may not trust, or even care about so why should they be impacted by this third party's opinion?
