So none of you see the moral issue here ? Its most likely that Saks exhausted all means before they decided to file a lawsuit. Its a sad thing to see none of you care about right and wrong.

You can''t legislate MORALITY. They''re not suing on ''moral grounds'' ... they''re suing on LEGAL grounds. And they''re gonna lose on legal grounds. Without more information we can''t know the truth of the ''moral'' responsibility. Its only immoral IMHO if the customer knew that she was taking advantage of dumb salespeople *during* the transaction. Should everyone who stumbles onto good deals at art auctions or antique stores or garage sales have to *return* items if the seller later experiences remorse? Dunthinkso.

I''m not commenting on the legal issue. There''s no question that SAKS made a mistake, but what I''m just saying that its probably the case that she knew there was some mistake in her favor. C''mon diamond earrings and a 8ct booch for $48,000? And from Saks ? Let''s be honest here that she knew that she knew. That being said, she could have done the right thing and returned it or paid the difference. Legal issues aside, It''s the principle of the situation.
