Amanda had placed a note in the students\u2019 activities board in a private college of a tablet for sale. It read: *Samsung Galaxy Tab Note 1 10.1\u201d *$700 *Call 016-1234567 if interested Ben saw the note and called the number saying that he would pay the asking price of $700. Shortly after Ben\u2019s call, Candy met Amanda in the student\u2019s cafeteria and said that she would pay $650 for it. Keen not to lose out to other potential buyers, Don called and told Amanda that he would pay $710 for the tablet. Amanda immediately replied that the tablet was his and that they would meet up at the library to complete the transaction. Ben and Candy were Don\u2019s classmates and when they met for the afternoon class, a proud Don showed his tablet to them. Discuss the liability of Amanda, if any, to Ben and Candy. Answering guide The following should be included as advice for Amanda:- [a] The parties \u2013 Both Ben and Candy had a grievance against Amanda [b] The disputes \u2013 Both Ben and Candy would argue that Amanda had made an offer to sell, which each on their own, without knowledge of the other, has accepted \u2013 the former at the asking price, the latter at a reduced price. To these, Amanda would counter that they had misunderstood the law [c] The law\/supporting authorities: *How to determine whether an agreement exists between any 2 parties: offer-acceptance analysis *Offer and Acceptance defined *Status of the note at the students\u2019 notice board? Is it a valid offer which can be accepted or no offer whatsoever has been made? *Advertisement cases \u2013English case law applies \u2013 this falls under what\u2019s termed \u201cinvitation to treat\u201d situations \u2013 Partridge v Crittenden. There are exceptions to the general rule. The question is whether Ben and Candy could come under the exceptions such as whether the advertisement contains words such as \u201c1st come, 1st served\u201d: Lefkowitcz v Great Minneapolis Surplus Stores or promise of reward for doing something: Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball [d] Application of law to facts: Ben\u2019s case: it\u2019s an offer to buy for $700 \u2013 never accepted Candy\u2019s case: it\u2019s an offer to buy for $650 \u2013 ignored Don\u2019s case: it\u2019s an offer to buy for $710 \u2013 this was accepted by Amanda [e] Advice: Its unlikely that Amanda had incurred any liability to Ben and Candy.
