You post a notice at school that you will sell your laptop computer for $600. A buyer comes by your room to look at it while you are gone and your roommate sells it for $500, thinking you would be happy with that price, which you did not authorize.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Even though your roommate did not have actual authority to sell your laptop, their actions may still be binding if you later accept the deal. This is known as implied ratification, where you accept the deal through your actions (such as accepting the money) rather than explicitly stating that you approve of the sale. Therefore, you can accept the deal by express or implied ratification.
