In this scenario, Ryan must follow the seller's instructions that concern the disposition of the eggs. If the buyer who rejects a good is a merchant, then the buyer must follow any reasonable instructions the seller gives concerning disposition of the goods. If the goods are perishable or may deteriorate rapidly, then the buyer must make a reasonable effort to sell the goods. The seller must reimburse the buyer for any expenses the buyer incurs in carrying out the seller's instructions or in trying to resell perishable goods. In reselling goods, the buyer must act reasonably and in good faith.
