There was a companion named Hibban b. Munqidh. He used to be constantly ripped off in sales, and so his family brought him to the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, said to Hibban: "When you buy something, say: 'no deception! and I have three days to cancel'."
This meant that those who contracted with him were reminded to be fair, and if they didn't give him the option to cancel, he could move onto the next seller. If anyone did make him pay extortionate prices, once his family realised, Hibban could return the goods.
This is the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him and his family! Fixer. Sorter-of-all-sorts-of-problems! :-)
