Sale of Collateral. To pay for the purchases of several aircraft, Robert Wall borrowed funds from the Cessna Finance Corp, using the aircraft as collateral. Wall defaulted on the loans. Cessna took possession of the collateral (the aircraft) and sold
it. Cessna filed a suit in a federal district court against Wall for the difference between the amount due on the loans and the amount received from the sale of the aircraft. Wall claimed that he could have obtained a higher price for the aircraft if he had sold them himself. How does the question of whether a better price could have been obtained affect the issue of whether the sale was commercially reasonable? Discuss.
