47. Braden has put up an advertisement to sell his Business Law textbook,

for $75, on a bulletin board outside The Grove on the NSC campus.

Gavin meets up with Braden and makes the following statement to

Braden: "I am thinking of buying your Bus Law textbook, but it would need

to be for a lower price - I am thinking about $60." Braden says: "I accept."

Gavin says: "Not so fast - I am not sure I want your book yet." Braden

says: "You just bought it! Better hand over your money now, or I will take

you to court!" What is the status of this negotiationjQuery22402597731074424512_1557096943837

a. Gavin made a valid offer to Braden. Braden accepted it, so now they

have an agreement. Assuming the other elements of a contract are there,

Braden can enforce this in court.

b. Gavin's statement was too vague to be a valid offer. Therefore

Braden's attempted "acceptance" will not be effective, and there is no

contract that could be enforced in court.

c. There was nothing in writing, so the court would not enforce this as a

contract anyway.
