    Yes - swim in it!

    If it had gone up in price would you offer to pay the difference?

    By the way to where did you bring the item?

    Have you opened it and used it? If not, just take it back as per their "no quibble" refund offer and buy it again at half price. If you have used it, buy it again at half price and take that one back for a refund using your original full-price receipt.:D

    You haven't "brought" it - you've bought it.

    You can'y expect to be compensated because someone decides to put an offer on something you recently bought.

    It's called tough luck.

    The OP did bring it - which is why I asked to where was it brought.

    I assume it was bought as well mind you.;)

    Try alikays idea, by far the best suggestion you will get and results in you getting your cheaper deal.
