Question 2

Krishna put out an advertisement in the papers offering to sell her home theatre system for $1,500.00. She described her system and its component parts in great detail. Paul called Krishna at the number advertised and asked if he could view the system. He also asked if Krishna would accept cheque payment, or required cash to close the deal. Krishna said she would accept payment by either cash or cheque. Paul arranged to view the system the next day. Later in the day, Krishna had another caller who asked to view the system immediately.

The second caller was Peter, who came to her house, saw her system, and paid her cash on the spot. Now, Paul is very upset with her and insists that Krishna had no right to sell the system to Peter.
