    You havent made a £250 loss, you have been returned to the position you were in before you had the item.

    If the item had gone down in price by £250, and you received a £700 refund, would you be telling them to keep the £250?
    They're saying that if they want to replace it like-for-like it'll cost them £250 more.
    I know that. But they still havent made a loss.

    My point was if the item was now £250 less to buy, they would hardly be telling them to "keep the change".

    And my point was that the OP said "effective loss", ie. what it would cost them to be with the given item again.
    But yes, they haven't made an actual loss.
