| Aug 9, 2019 at 3:20 | comment | added | Oliver | @sam Doesn’t davar ha’aved apply [only] to (indirect)loss of money? This wouldn’t be a monetary loss, only the person would have to wait until it resurfaces. | |

If I don’t need an ice-cold caffeine free Frappuccino but I’m in the mood of it and it’ll just make me happy, would that also be prohibited to purchase? | |

| Aug 9, 2019 at 3:08 | comment | added | Oliver | And how about if it’s an uncommon book which might not be around till after the nine days? | |
| Aug 9, 2019 at 2:40 | comment | added | sam | Rav Shmuel Kamentsky holds in a case of a loss,or a sale one can buy it as long as one leaves it alone until after nine days. He also mentions if one is somewhere that only has that item one can purchase it there in order that they do not need to make another trip. | |
