Hi Butch
I totally agree with you - the return is just not worth the trouble.
But, I have always wondered if someone would take the time to fake this game:
Take the generic version:
I believe there may be some subtle differences between the two games - I don't own the "indoor" version - have the generic version.
I did pick up the "indoor" version sans the cover which was removed - which had the red boxes for the parts - the generic version I have doesn't have the boxes.
It does seem to be a lot of trouble - but ya never know - someone could take a relatively inexpensive board game and sell it to some unsuspecting buyer on ebay?
