In one case, you're talking about a hidden defect. In that case, it's real asymmetric information.

The fact that someone else got a better deal is NOT asymmetric information. As far as price goes, the only question is "Were you happy with the price you paid at the time you signed the contract?".

I enter into lots of contracts in my business, at different prices to different people. I live up to my engagements. I expect that people live up to their engagements. I enforce my contacts in court otherwise.
