Lowe's also is big on keeping sales receipts...the store where I go has
a big sign over the returns desk outlining policy. I returned
something a few months back, had followed all the rules, and the clerk
did not want to accept it because it was a markdown. I had to ask for
the manager and he said okay right away....she said, "but we were told
yesterday....." and he cut her off and said it's okay. I think they
have too many cooks stirring the soup down there sometimes.

I would take it back to Lowes and explain what happened. They might be
able to trace the previous buyer. They also might still give you a
replacement. I'm sure it is not the first time it has happened to
someone.

Lowes has a 30 day return policy, under normal circumstances.
