Exercise 9

Andy, a 17½-year-old minor, purchased an expensive computer at Pace Computers for $2,500 and paid cash from his savings account. The purchase was for pleasure purposes. At the time of the sale, the salesperson was aware that Andy was a minor but made the sale anyway, thinking of the commission he would receive. Later on, Andy's girlfriend convinced him to take an overseas trip with her to several European countries. Since he needed all the money he could get (his savings account was depleted), he returned to Pace Computers to return the computer and to demand the return of the purchase price, claiming that he had a right to do so because of his protected status. The manager looked at Andy's driver's license and claimed that Andy was now an adult since he had turned 18 years of age and could no longer disaffirm the contract. Actually, Andy had passed his eighteenth birthday by two days.
Questions
1. Was it unethical (unfair) for Andy to return the computer and demand his money back?
2. Could the manager refuse to take back the computer?
