Question

A pair of candlesticks was sold, and after some time, the buyer complained that upon closer inspection, it was noticeable that the candlesticks were different. The seller argues that since time has passed and this type is no longer produced, there is nothing he can do about it.

Answer

Since a mistaken purchase is considered such only if most people care about the difference, and here it seems that most people do not care about it, it is not considered a mistaken purchase. Additionally, even if he used them after he found out, it is considered a waiver, and he has no claim.
