Wаlt is the оwner оf Wаlt Security, а sоle proprietorship. Walt advertised in the local newspaper that the first 5 local callers who mention the advertisement would receive a free estimate for the installation of a new residential security system. The reasonable value of the estimate is $200. Jesse was the 3rd caller to mention the advertisement and said that he would like an estimate for a new security system. It was a Monday. On Tuesday, Walt visited Jesse’s property and told him that he could install a six-camera security system for $3,000, with installation to be complete within the week and payment upfront. The cost to Walt for the cameras and system equipment was $500. Jesse said that he was in agreement but that he needed at least an eight-camera system and that the cost must be less than $2,500. On Wednesday, Walt called Jesse and told him that he agreed to Jesse’s terms and would install the security system the next day, Thursday. On Thursday, Walt showed up with the security system ready to install and Jesse asked him, “Just to clarify, you are going to install an eight-camera system for $2,400, today, payment to be received 30 days from installation, correct?” Walt replied, “Yes.” Later that day, after the system was installed, Jesse inquired of Walt, “Money’s a little tight right now, will you take $2,000, with payment still due 30 days after installation?” Walt replied, “Sure.” It has been several months and Walt has not been paid. Walt sent Jesse a letter threatening to sue him for $2,400 plus a fee of $200 for the original estimate. The value of Jesse’s home has appreciated by $2,000 due to the new security system. What are the rights, remedies, and defenses (if any) in the matter of: Walt v. Jesse? [Do not consider any modern contractor statutes]
