    Buy one at the reduced price and return it on the original receipt.
    Advising someone to do something fraudulent is never a good idea.
    Works for Argos when they mislead consumers about their right to cancel! 

    OP probably has 1 year and 14 days to cancel the contract and return the goods in any condition for a full refund.

    Maybe, but that's not really the point, is it.  If there's a correct and lawful method of OP getting what they're entitled to, that's the route to follow, not some homespun fraud to get around it.

    Indeed, I just don't wish to pass any opportunity to mention Argos and their unlawful policies :)
