Abstract

What ethical obligations does a buyer have to make a seller that is aware of the true value of the thing they are selling? In this work of philosophical contract law short story fiction, Mel, a long-time customer of Kathy’s, enters Kathy’s shop on one of the last days before she closes the shop down to retire. While in the shop Mel spots a rare, and very valuable brooch. Kathy clearly doesn’t understand its value and opts to give it to Mel as a parting gift. Mel insists on paying, but Kathy refuses and Mel leaves with the brooch. Mel then takes the brooch to a specialist and sells it for $35,000, but is left wondering if she owes Kathy and of the money from the windfall?
