Tinashe is an antique dealer and one Saturday in June 2020 he put a Picasso drawing in the window of his shop with a sign
Tinashe is an antique dealer and one Saturday in June 2020 he put a Picasso drawing in the window of his shop with a sign which stated:
"Exceptional piece of 19th century - on offer for K50,000. If interested, call 099555121 or write to P O Box 21333, Ridgeway, Lusaka."
Sepiso happened to notice the Picasso drawing as she walked past the shop and thought she would like to have it. Unfortunately, at the same time, she saw a friend across the hall and walked over to say hi. By the time the two were done chit chatting, Sepiso felt too lazy to walk back. So she wrote to Tinashe agreeing to by the Picasso drawing for the stated price of K50,000. The letter was posted at 11:30 a.m on Saturday.
Later on the same day, Natina visited Tinashe's shop and said she would like the Picasso drawing but was only willing to pay K40,000 for it. Tinashe replied that he would accept K40,500 for the Picasso drawing, but Natina insisted that she was only willing to pay K40,000; and she left the shop. On her way home however, Natina realised that K40,500 was actually a very good price for the Picasso drawing. She immediately wrote to Tinashe agreeing to buy it for that price; and her letter was posted at 12:30 p.m.
Just before closing time at 5 p.m, Mwansa came into Tinashe's shop and she also offered K40,000 for the Picasso drawing. This time, Tinashe agreed to sell the Picasso drawing at that price; and Mwansa promised to return the following Monday with the money.
On Monday morning, Tinashe received the two letter from Sepiso and Natina before Mwansa could arrive to pay and collect the Picasso drawing .
