<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 341758, member: 4626&quot;]The Denny&#039;s example is a perfect example that just because you put up a sign or put a term in the contract, it doesn&#039;t automatically give it the force of law.&nbsp; Hardly extreme.&nbsp; Want a more extreme example, see if you can sue a hitman for not killing the person you paid them to kill under &quot;breach of contract.&quot;&nbsp; The fact that the conduct procsribed in the contract is itself illegal nullifies the legal force of the contract.&nbsp; Actually, that&#039;s not so extreme, as that&#039;s exactly the case here... the fact that the conduct is illegal (fraud) invalities any argument that the contract is in any way legally binding.&nbsp; The fact that both parties signed a contract does not protect one party from the consequences of comitting a crime, in this case fraud.</p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt it would take much of an expert to be able to compare a given coin with the description and determine whether or not it is as described, based on objective measures.&nbsp; If the difference is subjective and thus arguable on the basis of opinion, I&#039;d side with the seller, but if the difference is objectively and factually apparent, I&#039;d say that the seller comitted a fraud and would side with the buyer (even if the seller made an honest mistake I would still side with the buyer, as the buyer shouldn&#039;t be forced to pay for someone else&#039;s mistake.).&nbsp; I could guarantee you any court would do the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you go to a clothing store and ask for a black suit, pay for it, take it home and open the box, and see you got a blue suit instead... would you believe the seller is entitled to a restocking fee for the <i>seller&#039;s</i> error?&nbsp; I hope you don&#039;t.&nbsp; Even more so if the seller intentionally provided something other than what was paid for (in legal terms, that would be called <i>fraud</i>!).&nbsp; If it&#039;s just a difference of opinion or a case of the buyer changing his mind, then fine... but no contract protects a seller who makes a mistake or commits fraud... no contract with illegal terms is legally valid, by definition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
