Dishonesty in Selling Candy
Question
I usually buy snacks for about one shekel each and sell them for five. If I tell people it cost me only one shekel, they won’t buy from me. Can I say they cost me three shekels each, even though five shekels is the regular 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'.
