    Your statement is not entirely true and is advising the OP to commit FRAUD to be reinbursed.

    As other people have said the best route would be to see if there is a money back guarantee period and use it.

    Or, shop around in the first place. If you keep and eye on stores promotions you can generally tell when promotions are going to start/end.

    It's called a sale and just about every retailer in the land has them. It's not moraly wrong, just tough luck in this instace

    It's not really buyers remorse, it just seems a little unfair.

    If I'd have waited 2 days, it would have been £200 cheaper.

    It just seems morally wrong more than legally.

    A retailer who wants to keep your good will may offer to at least meet you part way if you go and ask. If not, you haven't lost anything by asking.

    As for it being "wrong" somehow, then if the law said you were entitled to the reduction if the price changed 2 days after you purchased it then that raises two problems.

    1) How would you feel about being called back to pay extra in the event of a price increase?

    2) Would it then be "morally wrong" to deny you a refund if the price increased three days or four after you purchased? You have to draw the line somewhere.
    If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

    Come on... at the very worst, he was very subtly insinuating! In no way did he advise anyone to commit fraud.
