===Down Payments when the Price is Unclear===
'''''Tarsha'''''
# If there is no fixed price in the market for an item it is permitted to pay for it in advance and have it delivered later.<ref>Gemara Bava Metsia 65a, Shulchan Aruch 173:1</ref>
# It is forbidden for the perspective lender to counter the request of a loan with a subterfuge of having the lender borrow a commodity to then resell it to the lender for a cheaper price. Since the borrower originally requested a loan the borrower may not sell the commodity for a cheaper price when when the price is unclear in the marketplace.<ref>Taz 163:6</ref>

#Downpayments and early bird specials. 63b rav nachman says you can’t do an early bird special unless it is yesh lo. 65a he says you can do a downpayment and get the item now and pay more later as long as you don’t specify the price and tosfot 65b and 63b adds that if its price is evident in the market it is forbidden.
Rama 173:7 says you can do poskin on parah or talit even ein lo. That’s based on tosfot 63b that says if there’s no shuma then we’re not calling it agar natar we’re calling it tarsha. But what about the fact it might go up on its own like poskin al hapeirot?
Bear hagolah and tiferet lmoshe - peiro will have a shuma later but parah will never
Shach - parah is yatzah shaar in that the factors necessary to determine its price like per pound is shaar kavuah
Taz argues on rama and says its only if it didn’t go up
Chavot daat 173:11 there’s no shiybud haguf here if you give them a specific item, but there is for the general fruit which you can give them any fruit
Rav chaim in gemara and tos not rama - with ashray bmata that’s partially yesh lo
