Doris sent Iris letter : " Dear Ms. Jones:
I am writing to offer you a terrific seasonal discount on bulk flowers for your shop. Please see our price list below. These prices are only good through the end of the calendar year (2018) so order soon!
Roses: $70 for 100 roses (red and pink)
Hydrangeas: $75 for 30 hydrangeas (white and green)
Lilies: $55 for 60(assorted colors)
Carnations: $40 for 100(assorted colors)"so i gave voris a call on December 10 to order one bucket of each flower in her offer letter. With a new supplier, I always like to check the Quality before I order too much
Doris said that they had already sold all of the "discounted" flowers, but that she could give us some "other" flowers at a slightly higher price
Which is ridiculous.
Roses are roses! | felt like she was just trying to get more money.
I told her that l'd only be interested in placing an order at the discounted rate. Otherwise, I would iust order From one of our other suppliers
That is pretty messed up
Was it allowed to revoke her offer like that? ( multiple choice)
No - this was a firm offer to sell goods, which can't be revoked during the guaranteed time period.
Yes - this was a firm offer to sell goods which can be revoked at any time prior to acceptance.
No - this was an offer for a unilateral contract, which can not be revoked after the offeree begind performance
