Gary, a partner in G & R Enterprises, went to a trade show and discussed with a manufacturer's representative of Foods 4 U, Inc the purchase of three dozen food processors. A week after the trade show Gary received a signed letter from the representative thanking Gary for visiting his booth and saying Gary's order for three dozen Style 418B food processors at $90 each would be shipped to his
business address within 30 days. Can Gary be contractually bound to accept and pay for the food processors?
A) If, after he returns from the trade show, Gary decides he only wants to purchase twelve food processors, he would not have to pay for three dozen if they are shipped to him as long as he notifies Foods 4 U of the change in quantity before it ships the goods.
B) Gary did not sign an order form, and an order this large would have to be in writing and signed by Gary to be enforceable.
C) If Gary does not object in writing within ten days after receiving the letter, he can be bound to accept and pay for the three dozen food processors.
D) The letter is not sufficient to bind either Gary or Foods 4 U, Inc. to the purchase and sale of the food processors.
