Cars in all have prolonged histories so a seller knows a lot about them. However, for a marketplace for lemons, that do not final as prolonged as cars, can a "lemon law" be applied? why?

Well if a supermarket is selling old fruit n veg, then yeah i guess so.

haha it all depends on the contract, which has nothing to due w. economics at all :)

the UCC governs all of this, if you were really curious i suppose you can drop a line to one of their emails and check back a year later for an adequate answer :)

the "lemon law" you are implying is actually a form of "firm offer" which states that a good must be of normal quality-per the reasonable person’s test (8/10) wouldnt complain- and if they are not, a person may sue for commercial negligence.
the 3 elements for that are Duty, Breach, and Harm.
Duty- the duty of the supplier was to provide you with a lemon of normal quality as stated in their firm offer.
Breach- the supplier did not provide you with a normal lemon, they gave you a knock off or an expired one.
Harm-the financial/emotional harm you incurred while dealing with the exchange of money/lemon.

You would have to have the UCC as a liason for this lawsuit though, as it deals with previous precedents set for these sorts of contracts.
