I have a sister-in-law who used to brag about buying something from Macy’s using it for a month, taking it back, and then buying the very same item back from the basement for half the price.

What you describe reminds me of an episode of "King of Queens", in which Carrie tried this scheme.
A friend of mine used to say: "To some it's important to drive a Porsche, even if they don't have any furniture in their house". I think, that's the attitude behind the "test and send back" mentality: "I can't afford it, but look how cool I am with my new iPhone (or whatever hip gadget)". Personally, I don't get it. If I can't afford it, but test it for some days, I'd find it even more frustrating to give it back and again be without it...
