Hannah shops at a high-end doggy boutique and purchases a designer dog collar for $3500.00. As soon as she got home, she put it on her dog who wore it for a couple of days. After a few days, she realized that she could not afford the collar and did not really like it. She attempted to return it to the store and they refused. Hannah filed suit against the store stating that they charged way too much for their products and made an unfair and unreasonable profit. What would most likely be the outcome of the case?

The court will likely rule in favor of the store because consideration exists when something of legal value is exchanged between the parties, and in this case, Hannah received the dog collar in exchange for her payment of $3500.00. The fact that she later regretted the purchase does not negate the existence of consideration.
