if an item bought recently goes on sale in store

Those terms and conditions are being abused though, the sale was agreed at whatever price. The retailer offering a money back if you change your mind is for just that purpose, so you are totally happy with your purchase and you should only return it if your not happy with it or its faulty not because you can save a couple of quid buying it again. Legally you are entitled to do it if there T&C's say they happy to refund for change of mind, morally is a different matter though.

Surely the issue is the fact that the retailer has written conditions into the contract of sale, which the OP is exercising. If they had written, "you paid x for product y, we can come back and say we now want X+100 after you have already paid and have the product" into the contract of sale, I am sure that will have covered it, but as they haven't, it is a bit of a moot point.

100% agreed in this case the point is moot. I was talking more about in general, as was Equaliser. They can take the item back and buy it in the sale as the T&Cs of the contract says they can return it.

Ugh, I would never have the gall to return something just to buy it back at a cheaper price. It just feels dishonest, really. If I want to buy something, I'll seek out the best price BEFORE I buy it, not buy something at a high price and hope it'll come down later.

But just as dishonest is a seller selling the consumer something that they know will be sold for considerably less in the near future. For example, a car dealer who knows that the manufacturer is offering a thousand pounds more, off the price the car tomorrow, sells someone a car for higher price. Which is less immoral?
