Question
Thomas told Steve that the Carmel's Art Gallery was offering an oil painting called Mona's Sisters by Vanberg for $3,000, which was worth far more
Thomas told Steve that the Carmel's Art Gallery was offering an oil painting called "Mona's Sisters" by Vanberg for $3,000, which was worth far more because Vanberg had recently died. Upon hearing this Steve sent Davis, the manager at the Carmel's Art Gallery a telegram saying, "I will buy the Mona's Sister by Vanberg for $3,000. Payment enclosed. Please send to the above address - Steve." Steve did not realize Davis was also offering a series of watercolor prints by Vanberg featuring the Mona Sisters in various states for $3,000. Davis, acting in good faith, packed up the Mona Sisters watercolor print by Vanberg and sent it to Steve. Then he sold the oil painting to another customer. In response to an action Steve denies the existence of an enforceable contract. Will Steve prevail?
A. No, because Steve should have been more explicit in his telegram. B. No, because the paintings was a unique good. C. Yes, because Steve's telegram to Davis would only bind Steve and will not bind Davis. D. Yes, because Davis sent nonconforming goods.
