Jerry spotted a lovely blackwood bookcase in an antique shop owned

by Julie, which had a price tag of $5,000. Jerry approaches Julie and

tells her that he cannot accept her offer of $5,000 on the price tag but

he can take the bookshelf for $3,000. Julie says "that isn't possible but

how about $4,500?" Jerry says "no, how about $4,000?" Julie says "no,

if you don't like my prices you are free to shop somewhere else" to

which Jerry replies that he will accept but Julie's price of $4,500. Julie

does not reply but turns to serve another customer, as Jerry steps

away from the counter to take a call on his mobile phone.

Following his telephone call, Jerry turns back to Julie to pay for the

bookcase but Julie says she has already sold it to Katherine for $5,000.

Jerry is furious and says that he and Julie had a contract and that the

bookcase was his. Advise Jerry and Julie giving reasons for your

answer.
