if an item bought recently goes on sale in store

d.estherby

Hi, does any one know if I am within my rights to return an
item with a valid receipt within 28day refund policy (in my case next) and the item goes in to sale, can I get a full refund and re purchase the same item at the new discounted price?
In the past a cash assistant refused to re sell to me? Please help

If you have the right to a refund then you can refund and re-purchase

The shop doesnt HAVE to sell to you so in theory they could refund you but not let you buy again

It may be wise to refund it and go and buy it at a later date/time.

If the price went up, would you be so quick to return to the store and give them the difference?

You bought a product at a price you were happy with, so what's the problem?

Retailers are inveterate scum who should be lined up against a wall and shot. Their sole purpose is to insert themseles as middlemen in a chain between buyer and seller where they are completely superfluous so they can extort money from the decent proletariat.

Most people could take their christmas presents back to the shop on boxing day, exchange them, and rebuy them for half the price.:eek:

By promoting 'offer cyclicality' most retailers make a victim of some of their customers. NEXT and their sales are a good example of this, the crap they sell is often not even a good price in the sale, and the quality and wear over time is very poor for the 'original' prices charged.

The whole ethos of this site is to stick a fat finger up to the retailers and only buy when cheapest - perhaps you are on the wrong site fergie76.

Have you not read the title of this site, because I think you might not be posting on the right one.

you can return it but you can't then say " i've changed my mind i'll buy it back"

unless you can find one on the shop floor you have no right to rebuy it.

And even then they have no "right" to buy it. The shop can refuse to sell anything to anyone.

I would take it back and pop back later / next day / go to different till / send mum / wife / random person off the street in if you think they will refuse you.

Probably more logistics than legal position. In reality returns often get sent back to central warehouse etc. before being re-badged for re-sale.

Nothing stopping them picking another one up from the shelf though!
