  1. Frederick had been accustomed to dealing with Mario, the owner of a music store with which he had a running account. Frederick sent an order to Mario's music store for the supply and delivery to his home of some classical CDs. However, the music store had that same day been sold to Charlie the actual supplier of the CDs, vinyl records and other musical goods. Upon delivery of the CDs, Frederick used the CDs that he had ordered and bought from the store through Mario. When Frederick, subsequently became aware of the change of ownership of the music store, he refused to pay for them, claiming that he had intended to deal directly with Mario personally as he had a set-off arrangement with Mario, that is, he was actually owed money by Mario. In this situation is Frederick liable for the price of the purchased CDs, the goods?
