A bulk retаiler оf аccessоries fоr musicаl instruments placed an advertisement in a trade magazine popular with those in the music business, offering for sale 50-count boxes of a particular type of mouthpiece for use with the French horn, minimum purchase 10 boxes, at $100 per box. In response to the advertisement, the owner of a large store that sold brass and woodwind instruments in its shop and over the Internet sent a written order to the bulk retailer for 12 boxes (50-count) of the mouthpiece. In his letter that accompanied the order, the store owner stated that he would send the bulk retailer his payment of $1,200 upon delivery. The letter also said that the mouthpieces must fit onto three specified models of French horn. The day after receiving the written order and letter from the store owner, the bulk retailer shipped 12 boxes (50-count) of the mouthpiece to him. Accompanying the invoice on the boxes was a letter from the bulk retailer stating that the mouthpieces are compatible with two of the models of French horn but that the retailer makes no warranties as to the compatibility of the mouthpieces with any other model of French horn. Shortly after accepting shipment of the boxes, the store owner realized that the mouthpieces did not fit onto the third model of French horn that it had specified and instituted an action against the bulk retailer. Which of the following statements would offer the strongest support in favor of the store owner’s position?
Twо cоusins hаd been rаised in the sаme neighbоrhood. When the elder cousin married, she moved to another city, but the two cousins corresponded frequently over the years and occasionally visited each other. On March 1, the elder cousin wrote to her younger cousin that her last child had married and moved away. In the letter, she wrote, “I wonder if I should sell my house. It’s really too big for me. If I could get $85,000 for it, I’d sell it and move into an apartment.” On April 15, the younger cousin replied in a letter: “We just learned that we will be moving to your city. My husband and I both like your house and would be glad to pay you $95,000 for it. We could pay $10,000 in cash, but we would have to get a mortgage for the rest.” Upon receiving the letter on April 17, the elder cousin telephoned her younger cousin and said “I accept your wonderful offer. I have a mortgage on the house for $85,000, so you can just pay me $10,000 and take over the payments.” The younger cousin responded: “That’s great. Let me talk to my husband about it again to make certain that we both agree. You’ll hear from me within 10 days.” On April 18, a local real estate developer offered the elder cousin $100,000 for her house, and she entered into a written purchase-and-sale agreement with him. An hour later, the younger cousin called and before her cousin could say anything she blurted out, “Great news! I talked with my husband, and we are delighted to accept your offer.” Will the younger cousin prevail in a suit against the elder cousin for breach of contract?
