A . Arthur brings his new computer to the Quick Fix Repair Shop to be fixed. Two days later, a buyer comes into the shop, and Quick Fix inadvertently sells Arthur's computer. Arthur now wants his computer back. Can Arthur get his computer back? Explain. b. Why do you think the Code follows this rule in situations such as the one above? Explain


a . Under the Code, Arthur has "entrusted" his computer to a merchant, who has the power to transfer all of Arthur's rights to a buyer in the ordinary course of business. The merchant has only a voidable title, but he can transfer good title to a buyer in the ordinary course of business when the goods have been entrusted to him. Arthur can get money damages from Quick Fix, but he cannot get his computer back.
b. The Code follows this rule to encourage commerce from a merchant. Arthur also has more control over the situation, because he chose the merchant to whom he entrusted his computer. So long as the goods are not unique or have no special sentimental value, money damages will adequately compensate Arthur for his loss.
