 (1) See accompanying graphic diagram.
(2) ORIGINALLY, the merchants of Lud rejoiced, because the buyers who were overcharged were unable to cancel the sale (even if they realized the overcharge within "Kedei she'Yar'eh") until they were overcharged by a third.
IN THE END, the merchants of Lud retracted, because they saw that Rebbi Tarfon gives the buyer an entire day to demand his refund in the case of an overcharge of one sixth and less than one sixth, and it is not Mechilah until after the end of an entire day.
(3) ORIGINALLY, the merchants of Lud rejoiced, because the buyers who were overcharged by more than a sixth, until a third, were unable to demand their refund after "Kedei she'Yar'eh."
IN THE END, the merchants of Lud retracted, because there is not much gain in having the buyer unable to demand a refund after the end of an entire day has passed, and the merchants preferred the opinion of the Rabanan in cases of an overcharge of a sixth itself, because after "Kedei she'Yar'eh" the buyer is unable to demand a refund.
(4) ORIGINALLY, the merchants of Lud rejoiced, for the same reason as above (footnote #3), and in addition because in cases of an overcharge of a sixth, the Mechilah is immediate and the buyer has no recourse.
IN THE END, the merchants of Lud retracted, because there is not much gain in having the buyer unable to demand a refund after the end of an entire day. It is preferable to the merchants that it be considered "Bitul Mekach" in cases of an overcharge of more than a sixth, since that also gives the merchants the option to cancel the sale. (Even though they lose out, by following this opinion, in cases of an overcharge of exactly a sixth, since according to the Rabanan of Rebbi Tarfon the Mechilah is not immediate but only after "Kedei she'Yar'eh," nevertheless since this applies only in an infrequent case (overcharge of *exactly* a sixth) there is not much gain to them.)
(5) ORIGINALLY, the merchants of Lud rejoiced, because in cases of an overcharge of a sixth, it is Mechilah immediately.
IN THE END, the merchants of Lud retracted, because according to Rebbi Tarfon, in cases of an overcharge of more than a sixth, the buyer is able to demand a refund the entire day according to Rebbi Tarfon, while according to the Rabanan the sale is finalized and it is Mechilah as soon as "Kedei she'Yar'eh" passes.
(6) ORIGINALLY, the merchants of Lud rejoiced, for the same reason as above (footnote #2).
IN THE END, the merchants of Lud retracted, for the same reason as above (footnote #4 -- in fact, that reasoning applies all the more so here, since the merchants gain nothing with Rebbi Tarfon's opinion even in the case of an overcharge of a sixth itself).
