After Sam and Bob agreed on a price ($2,000,000) for the property, they signed a valid standard real estate sales contract. In a blank space at the end of the contract under a caption which read “Other Terms,” were the following handwritten words: “Sale of property does not include fine art.” The contract between Sam and Bob also contained a clause which stated: “This contract includes the parties’ entire agreement regarding the subject matter of this contract and overrides all previous agreements, negotiations, and understandings.” According to Bob, during negotiations, Sam promised everything on the property was included in the sale, except for the paintings inside the house.

6. Jennifer inherited а fаbulоus mink stоle frоm her recently deceаsed great aunt Zsa Zsa. A stole is a long scarf made out of fur that women typically wear over their shoulders. Jennifer would not likely take legal possession of the mink stole for several months until the estate had been settled. Jennifer was short on cash so she took the mink stole over to a reputable fur dealer in Billings, Montana. He examined the mink stole and was very impressed with its quality, estimating that its value would be about $10,000. Jennifer pleaded with the fur dealer to raise the price because this had belonged to Zsa Zsa, a famous movie star who had recently died. She felt that surely that would make the mink stole more valuable. The fur dealer eventually agreed with Jennifer and offered her an extra $2,000 for the fame associated with this stole. They signed a valid written agreement whereby Jennifer would deliver the mink stole within one week after the estate released it to her and the fur dealer would pay Jennifer the $12,000 at the signing of the contract. The fur dealer then gave Jennifer a check for $12,000. After Zsa Zsa’s death, Zsa Zsa increased in fame because of the discovery of several movies that had been filmed in her lifetime starring her, but which were released posthumously. Jennifer determined that with this increase in fame, the premium for the mink stole was probably $5,000, not $2,000. Jennifer refused to sell the mink stole to the fur dealer unless he increased the price by $3,000. The fur dealer refused and Jennifer refused to deliver the mink stole to him. The fur dealer was able to buy a comparable mink stole, also once owned by Zsa Zsa, for $16,000. He had to retain the services of a broker to find the new mink stole who charged him a ten percent commission on the sales price of $16,000. If the fur dealer sues Jennifer, what is he most likely to recover?
