    You can see where the confusion arises though, can't you?

    Well, surely it's obvious that you'd return the original purchase which cost more but replace the actual product inside with the new unused one lol

    Or just simply wait a further 2 days before buying any...

    Yes it is, which makes me wonder why your post explicitly stated the opposite.

    Buy one now. If they reduce the price for Black Friday then buy another at reduced price and return the original for a refund.

    I picked up some purple GSDs for £70 in last year's Black Friday deals.

    Two possible risks with this

    1) they have a unique serial number - if the retailer became aware they could either ban the OP's account or press fraud charges (since there has been a misrepresentation with a view to personal gain).
    2) Depending on OP's account history, amazon may decide theyve had 1 return too many and ban their account - this happens even when customers have returned a (relatively) small % of orders - because amazon will deem them unprofitable/less profitable and so don't want their custom.

    There's a decent pair of hair straighteners in the early Black Friday deals in Martin's email today if you're not particularly wanting or needing GHDs.
