Basically what Amused said
Its not $97 as if the buyer didnt cheat the shopkeeper would have earned $3 by selling the $21 product
-$100 would be what the shopkeeper would put down in his account book
but if he can easily obtain more of product A at $18
lets say i price a bag of potatoe chips that i got for a quarter for $20
but someone gives me a fake $20 bill for it
is that really a $20 loss?
since the shop owner dictates the price I dont see how it can be considered a $20 loss unless it was an item that could not be replaced at cost
if it costs him $18 + shipping to replace one than the true cost is higher than $18
