An individual sued to recover the price paid for an item, claiming a latent defect made the item unfit for its intended use, yet the item had been sold by a professional who declared they were unaware of the defect; the court upheld the dismissal of the claim because the seller, acting as a professional, bore the burden of proving their ignorance of the defect, and the buyer failed to establish that the seller's declaration of unawareness was made in bad faith, which was necessary to overcome the professional seller's presumed knowledge of the latent defect.
