- X 469458&cmid=1686173&page=1 On Monday, Mohan posted an advertisement in Facebook, selling his Xbox Series X (Xbox) for $800. Melchor messaged Mohan (in Facebook Messenger) that he wants to buy the Xbox for the advertised price. Mohan, replied "sure I'll sell it to you but the Xbox is now priced at $1,000. I'll give you until Tuesday 6PM to think about it". On Tuesday morning, Melchor messaged Mohan, "Hey is the Xbox still available? $1,000 is a bit expensive but I'm keen to buy it for $900 if that's okay." Mohan replied "Sorry, I will only accept $1,000. Look I'll give you until 6PM to think about it but if I don't hear back from you by 6PM tonight - I assume you have agreed to buy it!" Melchor's phone is set to Silent because he was teaching at Monash College so he did not read the messages. At 6PM Tuesday night, Mohan messaged his bank details to Melchor and demands that payment be made immediately as he has already prepared the Xbox for delivery. Melchor is shocked when he reads Mohan's messages. He drives straight to your office and asks if Mohan can do that. Please advise him. In your advice, indicate whether: 1. The promise to keep the offer until Tuesday 6PM is enforceable? 2. Mohan can force Melchor to accept the offer? To get full marks, make sure to cite relevant case law!
