1. Joe, who lives in Portage, was home from classes because of a snow day and saw an advertisement in the Kalamazoo Gazette newspaper for the Big Box store in Kalamazoo. The advertisement had a picture of a 24 inch self-propelled snow blower. The listed price was $450. He immediately did a GOOGLE search, uncovered the store's e-mail and emailed the Big Box store saying "I accept" Joe then drove through the snow to the store. When he arrived, the sales clerk, who had just finished marking up all of the tags on the snow blowers to $550, refused to sell a snow blower to Joe for $450. True or false - Joe can successfully sue Big Box for breach of contract True False 2. Joe, who lives in Portage, was home from classes because of a snow day and saw an advertisement in the Kalamazoo Gazette newspaper for the Big Box store in Kalamazoo. The advertisement had a picture of a 24 inch self-propelled snow blower. The listed price was $450. He immediately emailed the Big Box store saying "I accept." Joe then drove through the snow to the store. When he arrived, the sales clerk, who had just finished marking up all of the tags on the snow blowers to $550, refused to sell a snow blower to Joe for $450. The clerk offered to sell Joe a snow blower at the new price. Joe said "I accept." Joe then went to the bank to get the money. The roads were by then plowed and the sun was shining, so having a snow blower no longer seemed important to Joe. He never went back to the store. True or false - Big Box can successfully sue Joe for breach of contract. True False 3. The next snowfall was even bigger. The manager of Joe's apartment building in Portage offered Joe $250 to remove the snow from all of the sidewalks in the apartment complex by 6:00 am the next morning. Joe (who still does not have a snowblower, but has a shovel and needs exercise) said "I agree." Later, without telling the apartment manager, Joe decided to delegate the snow removal to his classmate Dave (who owns a snow blower). Joe agreed to pay Dave $200 to undertake the snow removal and Dave agreed. Dave, however, ended up oversleeping and no snow was removed from the apartment complex sidewalks. True or false - The apartment complex (and/or its manager) can successfully sue Joe for breach of contract True False
