I've always thought Christmas is a bad time to get a bike anyway. Just when the roads are icy is when you send your child out for their first ride on their new toy!

Seeing as carphonewarehouse are in with talktalk and co then I would not expect to see any decent level of customer service so you'll probably have to grin and bear it.

What about the local newspaper if you drop the price a bit, it is brand new, coming up to christmas you should probably get it sold easily enough.

though if you bought from a website DSR may be available, if this is within 7 days. Goods must be unused and in original packaging.

Not true.
1) It is 7 WORKING days, beginning the day after receipt of goods.

2) Goods do not have to be in original packaging and/or unused;-

[FONT=&quot]OFTs BUSINESS GUIDE TO DSR [/FONT]
From page 28; -
Can I insist that consumers who cancel an order within the cancellation period return the goods as new or in their original packaging?
3.58 No. Consumers are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods while in their possession as discussed in paragraph 3.44. The DSRs allow consumers to examine goods they have ordered as they would in a shop. If that requires opening the packaging and trying out the goods then they have not breached their duty to take reasonable care of the goods. In these circumstances you cannot insist that consumers return the goods as new or in their original packaging. You may ask consumers to return goods with the original packaging, but you cannot insist on this. In the case of goods such as earrings that have hygiene seals, you may require consumers to exercise reasonable care by not removing the seals when examining them.

How can I resell the goods as new if they have been opened and tested by the customer?
3.59 The DSRs do not provide any general exception to the right to cancel on this point. Unless one of the specific exceptions referred to above at paragraph 3.38 applies, consumers can exercise their right to cancel a contract and return the goods to you. The DSRs do not link cancellation rights with a supplier’s ability to resell items as new.

OP you have a few options,

1. sell the netbook via a number of options and use that money to buy the bike

2 buy a second hand bike and keep the netbook for yourself

3 give your son the netbook and tell him santa doesnt like children changing they're minds as he has already bought the first item he wanted

4. you take option 1 and hope he doesnt chnage his mind again
