Suzie owned a shop selling antique goods. This required her to attend a number of auctions per year. When Suzie went to these auctions her best friend Minah ran the shop. Suzie instructed Minah, that she could sell any of the items displayed in the shop as long as Suzie got a least eighty percent of the price displayed on the item. Minah was warned tha tunder no circumstances must she purchase any stock for the shop.

While Suzie was away at an auction, Minah sold Roy a vintage painting for seventy percent of the price displayed. Rou bought the painiting believing that Minah owned the shop. Minah also sold Andy, a regular customer an good fiend of Suzie, a jade stone for sixty five percent of the displayed price. Andy was aware that Suzie would not sell for lower than eighty percent of thr marked price, even to a trader such as himself. Minah also purchased a number of items of jewellery from a collection shown to her by Eddie, for RM380. Minah beliwved this deal to be bargain, one that she felt Suzie would not want to let slip by.
