Case 10

b. When was the agreement reached?

c. What is the fair price if Karla paid $5,200 plus $150 for cleaning and $150 for the case?

d. If Luisa texts you offering $2,500, was an agreement reached?

e. Before Luisa accepts, Karla gets cold feet and texts you that she will no longer sell the clothes, can Luisa claim that there was a contract?

f. If Luisa calls Karla on the phone to tell her that she agrees, but cannot find her and leaves a message that she called her about the garments, was the agreement completed?

g. As soon as she receives the text from Karla, Luisa gets very excited and sends Karla the $2,250 via ATH mobile, is Karla obligated to accept?

h. Is there any reason why you consider the agreement voidable or voidable?
