I have a question that is bugging me because I feel I know the answer and feel ethically it is the right answer so I thought maybe ask here and find out if more people feel the same or not.
Here is the scenario.
If a seller puts a snake up for sale and does an advertisement and gets a customer interested to buy it. Then the customer contacts the seller via email and phone and you agree to sell it both in verbal and email response. Then confirms this again once more and the customer puts a deposit on the snake (50%) and during the wait of the deal to complete the customer pays another (25%). Even though the original deal was 50% now and 50% on shipped. Then the seller then changes the deal and hikes up the price. So my question is...
Does the seller have the right to increase the price on the snake over time while waiting to ship and use an excuse that the snake is worth more now?
I myself believe NO, a bought animal even with a deposit is technically bought at that stated price and agreed in the beginning. Unless the buyer chooses to walk from the deal, that animal if sold for (whatever) is still (whatever on day of shipping). Am I wrong for thinking this, or does anyone else think people can hike the price in middle of the deal after payments are made.
I would like to hear your feedback on this.
