Question
I buy snacks, say for one shekel each, and sell them for 5 shekels each. If I say it cost one shekel per snack, they won't buy from me. Can I say it cost 3 shekels per snack while the price of 5 shekels per snack is the market price?
Answer
Shalom u'vracha
You are not allowed to lie and state an incorrect price.
Your answer should be, 'The market price is 5 shekels'.
