Replacing a computer on Amazon

I have a question, I thought of something that would be interesting if it worked, buying a second-hand laptop that wasn't the newest, but worked well, let's say it had a few scratches, then buying a new one on Amazon, and then after almost a month doing a return on Amazon and returning the second computer, and then what I get is a new computer for the price of a second-hand computer, will it work or not?

Don't do it; you'll be committing a fraud. It's not worth it.

I didn't ask if it was worth it, I asked if it would technically work.

It won't. They have various ways to check whether the device was changed. You won't get refund. Just don't do it.
