Mock v. Terry

Plaintiff is in the business of selling campers. The defendant negligently operated her automobile, damaging four of plaintiff’s campers. Plaintiff’s action for damages was tried to the court without a jury. The only issue at trial and on appeal is the measure of damages. The trial court fixed the plaintiff’s damage' as the retail selling price of the campers before the damage was inflicted, less salvage value. The defendant contends that the proper measure is wholesale price f.o.b. plaintiff’s place of business, less salvage value.
