As a result, the seller refused to make the shipment.(1) Was the seller entitled to compensation for the warehouse rent, insurance and interest due to the delay?(2) If the seller had sold the goods to a third party on Apr. 25th,should the buyer pay for the delay?(3) If the seller had sold the goods to a third party on May 1th with a better price, was he entitled any compensation?
