Street Seller offered Pedestrian two necklaces that Pedestrian could purchase. Street Seller told Pedestrian that she was offering a great deal to Pedestrian, at a bargain price. However, Street Seller told Pedestrian that the offer to purchase the necklaces had to be accepted immediately. Necklace A was offered to Pedestrian for $15, and Necklace B was offered to Pedestrian for $50. Pedestrian could purchase either, or both, necklaces. Pedestrian accepted the offer to buy Necklace B for $50, paid $50 and received Necklace B, and then walked away. An hour later, Pedestrian came back and tendered $15 to Street Seller stating that she was buying Necklace A for $15. However, Street Seller refused to take the $15 and stated she would only sell Necklace A to Pedestrian for $25. Was Street Seller obligated to sell Necklace A to Pedestrian for $15 when Pedestrian attempted to purchase it?

Question 6 options:

a)

No, because the offer by Street Seller to sell Necklace A to Pedestrian for $15 was no longer a valid offer at the time that Pedestrian tried to buy Necklace A.

b)

Yes, because it was legally unconscionable for Street Seller to put so much time pressure on Pedestrian to make up Pedestrian's mind.

c)

No, because the offer by Street Seller to sell Necklace A to Pedestrian was not in writing.

d)

Yes, because both Necklace A and Necklace B were included in the original offer by Street Seller to Pedestrian.

Jewel was a film student who decided to sell her movie projection system to raise money to pay for tuition. Jewel sent a letter to Grocery Store Owner stating that, "If you (Grocery Store Owner) would like to buy my state-of-the-art movie projection system, I will sell it to you for $5,000. Further, I will keep the offer open for sixty days from today, January 10, so that you can have plenty of time to think about the offer." A week later, on January 17, Jewel saw Grocery Store Owner on the street. Jewel told Grocery Store Owner that she (Jewel) was retracting the offer, and did not want to sell the movie projection system to Grocery Store Owner, because she was selling it to someone else at a higher price. On January 18, Grocery Store Owner wrote a letter to Jewel stating that, "I am still thinking about your offer to buy the movie projection system. Please see enclosed check for $100 to hold the offer open for sixty days from January 10, so that I can make up my mind." If Grocery Store Owner sues Jewel for breach of contract, what would be the most likely result?

Question 7 options:

a)

Judgment for Jewel, because she revoked the offer during her conversation with Grocery Store Owner on January 17.

b)

Judgment for Grocery Store Owner, because Jewel expressly stated that the offer would be held open for 60 days.

c)

Judgment for Jewel, because she got a better price than what she offered to Grocery Store Owner for the movie projection system.

d)

Judgment for Grocery Store Owner, because she gave consideration to Jewel on January 18 by paying $100 to Jewel
