Sarah owns a vintage car and wants to sell it. She puts up an advertisement on Monday in the
newspaper stating, "Vintage Car for Sale - $100,000." Please respond by Wednesday. John reads the
advertisement and immediately called Sarah, informing her that he is prepared to buy the car for
$90,000. Sarah declines. Later that day James called Sarah and came over to have a look at the car.
After seeing the car James said that he is only willing to pay $80,000 for the Vintage car and asked
Sarah to think it over. Sarah now says that she offers to sell the car to James for $95,000 and nothing
less than that. James said he will revert soon. Early on Tuesday Sarah calls James and tells him that
she is withdrawing the offer, she made for $95,000. James immediately tells Sarah he accepts the offer
of $95,000.
Later, on Tuesday, John reconsiders and wants to call Sarah to buy the car at $100,000. Before he
could call Sarah, he heard from a friend that Sarah had sold the car to Ray for $95,000. Immediately
John calls Sarah stating he accepts the offer of $100,000. Both John and James are disappointed of
not being able to purchase the car and want to proceed against Sarah.
Can James and John succeed against Sarah?
