Dress purchased- now on sale

JC_Derby

O.h purchased a dress last week, price has now been significantly reduced in that oarticular shops sale. Do we have any rights whatsoever or is this is a case of tough luck?

It's a case of tough luck. Only possible option would be if the shop has a returns policy meaning you can return the dress purchased last week for a refund and buy a new one at the reduced price.

I'm intregued as to what sort of rights you think you could possibly have?

Of course, you could always just continue to enjoy the dress at the price you were originally prepared to pay?

Only the rights offered by the T&Cs of the retailer.

If the price had gone up would you be sending them more money?

Your 'rights' are whatever the shop offers. Some (very few) will offer a time limited retrospective price match: John Lewis is one.
If that's not available, you can always return it (if the shop grants 'no fault' returns; they have no obligation to do so), then repurchase it at the new price.

This is kind of like asking whether you would be obliged to pay more for an item which has since increased in price.

The transaction of a purchase of a good or service is a contract which you agreed to pay.

I'm intrigued as to why you feel the need to answer a straightforward question with such a sarcastic response?

Others have managed answer the question

It doesn't to me, as others had already responded suitably AND answered the question I asked.
Each to there own, im sure Soolin can answer for herself though.
I appreciate that people think that my original question may be daft, but as I understand it this is place for advice and help rather than mocking condescension? I certainly wouldn't expect that from people held in high regard.
So in response to you custardy, why answer a question with a question, when the original question had been responded to perfectly reasonably in the first post?

Oh I like the little personal dig... are you feeling protective?

Perhaps If you tell me the answer you would like,I can post it for you.
