So if a shop has an item available, and it is sold and replaced from stock, then under this way of thinking the 28 days before it could be offered at a reduced price would start afresh each time the shelf was replenished ... oh, yeah, like I can see Sainsbury's doing THAT can't you??

They say if it doesn't have the same item number, it's not the same... whereas I would say that a relisted item is the same, even though it has a new item number.

I suspect it's like the ban on digital downloads - they've gone for the easiest implementation for them, rather than the best implementation for us :-( Yeah, I know what you mean – if Turbo Lister can tell what item I’m relisting, you’d think they could be a bit more relaxed about it being the same item that’s been on sale for 28 days or more.
