Most places only price adjust for a couple of weeks--call and see if Target is different.
Is the serial number of the iPod on your receipt? If so, it will mess up your ability to return a new ipod on an old receipt. Also, doesn't Target have a 15% restocking fee for electronics? That might make a switcharoo difficult, too.

Actually Spicollidriver1 is correct that usually is a price match to get them honor a new deal also usually have to do what Sweet Baby James suggested. These deals also usally have not valid on previous purchases.

Yup, Spicolli is right. Target only does price adjustments for 2 weeks. At least that's the way it was a few years back when I worked there. I'm pretty sure it's the same now. Not sure why you'd be an ass about something YOU don't know anything about.
And yes, Target has a restocking fee on a lot of electronics. Not sure if the iPod does, but there's a good chance. I paid one on a GPS the last year. Kinda sucks.

Thanks everyone. Now if you read I did say most if someone tried at the right time they might find someone to do it for them. But by definition this does not fall into the catergory for a price match. Also I believe a couple months ago they changed there policy that they do not price match freebies/giftcards so even if you were in the two week window I don't think you would get it anyways.
