1. Should products be legally allowed to be sold "as is" without the seller disclosing known defects or problems? Is it more efficient to put the burden on the seller to disclose known problems or to put the burden on the buyer to detect them?
2. Why do we allow some sales to be "as is" sales, but require others to meet minimum standards? For example, we protect purchasers of automobiles with "lemon laws".
answer-
1-I would be against "as is" because it should not be legal to sold "as Is" without selller disclosing known defects or problems because it is not good for seller as well as buyer. As is means products are sold in present condition whether the faults are clear or not. a buyer purchase product so that buyer can use it without any issue if seller does not disclose any defect and sell the product as is then it means that seller is decepting buyer and buyer will face the loss in future after making purchase.
No buyer wants to buy a defective product as they are paying thier money for it. I think it is more efficient to put burden on the seller rather than burdern on the buyer detecting them because seller uses the product for long time, they have complete knowledge about the product they are selling so they should inform customers about the issues as it could be difficult for customer to detect them. also buyer have lack of knowledge so they put decision based on the words and informatin given by seller.
2- We allow some sales to be "as is" sales so that customers can be more aware in such sales and make purchase with more attention and alertness. as buyer is paying thier money and they see a product which they want to purchase but product is under as is so they must be more careful while making the purchase. they should do some research that is why there are some minimum standards so that customers can use those standards to make purchase decision.
