Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A lost volume seller is someone who sells goods regularly and would have made a sale to a defaulting buyer if not for their breach of contract. This seller can recover damages, which include the profits they would have made on the lost sale. If the defaulting buyer then resells the goods to another buyer, the seller can still recover damages as they would have made a sale to the first buyer if not for the breach, regardless of whether the goods were resold or not.
