Question

Is it permissible for a yeshiva student who wants to sell cans in the yeshiva where there is already a vending machine (owned by another student), and he wants to sell cans of the same type that are in the machine (which was there before he wanted to start selling) at a cheaper price (one shekel less) than the price at which the product (mentioned above) is sold? Is it permissible for the student who wants to sell these cans at a cheaper price in the yeshiva?

Answer

Hello, 

If there are enough buyers according to the matter, and the seller in the machine will not have to close his business, the second one is permitted to sell.
