Patricia Perry (‘Patricia’) needed a new camera. While reading the classifieds, she saw a small advertisement for a ‘G12’ Cannon camera. The advertisement had a picture of the G12 Camera and contained the following words:
“For sale – G12 Cannon Camera
$1,200 – Phone 0401214693
First to phone gets it – Cash only sale.”
Patricia called the advertised number and spoke to Phuong Chi (‘Phuong’). Patricia then asked Phuong whether the camera comes with a case. Phuong said it did but that the case was gifted to him by his late grandmother and if he ever decided to sell the case, with camera, he would charge an extra $300. Patricia then agreed to purchase the camera and case for $1,500. Phuong then gave Patricia directions to his home. When Patricia arrived at Phuong’s home Patricia handed Phuong $1,200 explaining that she no longer wished to purchase the case. Phuong refused to take Patricia’s money and said the agreement was for the camera and case.
Is there an agreement between Patricia and Phuong? If so, what is the agreement? Explain your conclusion using the legal technique demonstrated in class.
