Here is the situation...
Someone puts an ad in the classifieds saying product X is for sale for Y dollars and price is absolutely non negotiable (due to thus item being in very high demand and sold out for months at the stores). The price is very high, but it is evident that the market will bear this price, as the seller's ad explicitly says that he is only selling because the price makes it worthwhile.
As soon as you wake up in the morning and spot the ad, you rush to beat other buyers and say "I'll take them all." Even though you know what the price listed is firm, you let the seller know you live kinda far away, in hopes of perhaps some bit of leniency to make up for gas. Worth a shot right? You betcha.
To your surprise, the seller says he can sell for exactly $100 less than the price in the listing--almost a full 30% discount! How odd, since he was adamant in the ad about no discounts. So, not wanting the seller to change his mind, you ask the seller to call you and meet ASAP. Seller says he is out running around with family but would be glad to meet at the time and place of your choosing. You meet him, on time and make the trade. Nice and friendly.
Here is the dilemma. The seller messages you just a few minutes after the trade and says he got distracted in the morning, and simply neglected to "carry the one" and made a "huge mistake" by quoting $100 to low, and didn't intend to give any discount whatsoever (greedy bastard indeed).
What do you do now? Is it 100% seller's fault for misquoting, or partly the buyers fault for not throwing up a red flag when the price was shockingly low, and then rushing to make the sale before the seller figured it out? Is this something that can be resolved through iTrade?
