The issue was also raised about which market should serve as a basis for determining the comparable value. The question was not decided. According to the sense and purpose of the price-reduction provision, the place of the seller's performance would determine the comparable market price. In a sale involving carriage, the destination would provide the appropriate basis of comparison.
German courts decide the same way in cases of price reduction in construction and similar contracts.
