Question
A young man thought that the charging of his electric shaver was broken, so he sold it to his friend at a low price. Later, it turned out that it could be charged well using a different type of socket. In light of this, the seller claims that if he had known about this possibility, he would not have sold it, and he wants to cancel the sale. Is he right?
Answer
If he had no way of knowing about this solution at the time of the sale, it is considered a mistake in the transaction.
