Question
Three years ago, I bought Bluetooth headphones from someone who sets up a stall at the entrance of the shtiebelach every week. In reality, they were defective, and some time later he gave me a new pair and told me to return the first one. In fact, the second pair was also defective, and a long time has passed since then. I don't remember who he was, nor do I know if he still sells at the entrance of the same shtiebelach (since I stopped visiting there a long time ago). I would like to know if I need to keep both pairs of headphones or if I can throw them away.
Answer
Hello
If he agreed with you to return the defective item, you need to return it.
This does not pertain to 'returning a lost item', as you defined in the title of your question, but rather to the laws of 'guardian'.
