The answer

What was agreed upon between you and the owner of the item, that you would give him the price upon selling it, presents two scenarios:

1. Ju'alah (Commission-based agency): That you act as an agent for the owner of the item in selling it for a known amount. Ignorance of the work does not harm. In this case, the item remains the property of its owner. 2. Deferred Sale: That you purchase the item at a specific deferred price, and then sell it for whatever price you wish. In this case, ownership of the item transfers to you, and a promise of annulment (iqalah) can be taken in the event the items are not sold, but this promise is not binding on the seller according to the majority of scholars.
