Shot Self in Foot. Consumer Rights Rescue?

Is this a long shot?
I just bought a TV from Currys. 3 days after paying by credit card they dropped the price by £400. Can I return it as unwanted then buy it again at the lower price. (Also reduced at John Lewis) It would just be within their 14 days returns policy.
But I have used it. If they say “No” do I have a I legal (Unshot!) leg to stand on. Their policy on used returns items is a bit vague. They exclude some items but I saw no mention of tellys. Or, am I pathetically grasping at straws?

The latter.

They have a seven day price promise policy so should just refund you the difference without the need to return it as unwanted to buy it again

Yep, have a go at this, although it does say "another retailer", but give it a shot !

We’ll even price match 7 days after your purchase!
Here’s how to get a price match if you’ve already bought:
If you see the product cheaper with another retailer within 7 days of making your purchase let us know on 0344 561 0000 and we’ll happily refund the difference.

Buy it again and return the second TV unopened with the first receipt?

Technically fraudulent of course, and if OP wanted to go down that route, would have to be sure that serial numbers, etc. weren't recorded as part of the sale.
