Brass Bowls

Taipei Yang ordered 900 solid brass bowls for indoor plants from the East-Meets-West Company, which imports such goods from Singapore. Yang had included the bowls as a special in his holiday gift catalog and expected to generate a net profit of at least $9,000 from their sale. When the shipment arrived and was opened, Yang scratched the bottom of a bowl and determined that it was sell with a surface plating of brass. Yang complained to the supplier, who pleaded ignorance and apologized. Nothing further was aid and Tang paid the full price. Three months later he thought he should get a reduction in price because of the defect.

Will he succeed? Explain.

  1. He should be able to. He needs to prove it's the sellers fault. He should've taken pictures of it to prove his point. The company should send a new one. Or they can reduce the price of the broken one.

  2. I think he could succeed. It isn't past the date of when it had to be done. The company was feigning ignorance as well, which is dishonorable. Since the merchandise wasn't all it was supposed to be, it should be discounted. Unless it isn't, then it's not.

  3. no because it was three months ago. He also should have went to court as soon as he noticed it. not three moths after. He should have also had photos.

  4. Taipei Yang should be able to get the reduction in price for the bowls.Taipei could send the company pictures and expain the deal. In return the company could send some new bowls to replace the broken one. Or even give Taipei money or copounds to him.

  6. No, He should have contacted the company as soon as he saw a malfunction. Since he waited for 3 months after he got the shipment, he should not be able to get a reductions price since he waited so long.
