Although he intended to sell his barbeque smoker online for $450, Babe made a typo and listed it for $400. Allen purchased the smoker because he thought was worth about $400. He was surprised when Babe requested the additional $50. Babe explained the error to Allen, but Allen demanded that Babe turn over the smoker. Babe argued that the smoker was worth more and that the advertised price was an honest error so he did not have to sell Allen the smoker. Allen argued that Babe had to sell him the smoker at the advertised price. Who is right and why?

Question 17 options:

Babe is right because he made an honest mistake when he posted the price of the smoker.

Allen is right because both parties are mistaken as to the actual value of the smoker.

Babe is right because the smoker is worth more than what it is advertised for.

Babe is right because an advertisement is generally an invitation to bid and not a legally binding offer.
