In January, there's a guy who purchased re-bars at a hardware in Kitengela, Kajiado. He paid in full amount (800k) but didn't collect the goods instead he asked the hardware owner to keep them for him but got a receipt. Ofcourse the prices of rebars have gone up since then.
This morning he asked the hardware owner to prepare the rebars for him to collect. The hardware owner says, yes the rebars are available but the prices I got this stock for were higher so you have to top up 400k to make 1.2m.
My friend is demanding his rebars, at the amount he purchased them in January. The hardware owner on the other hand says you either top up 400k or I refund your 800k.
Who's right, who's wrong?. Discuss.
