Question

The furniture store wins because the couch was a specifically manufactured good. Under UCC § 2-201(3)(c), a contract for the sale of goods for more than $500 is not enforceable unless there is some writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. However, there is an exception for specifically manufactured goods, in which case the contract is enforceable even without a writing. Since the couch was specifically manufactured for Molly, the furniture store can enforce the contract despite the lack of a written agreement. Additionally, Molly's deposit created a contract to buy the couch, and she cannot simply cancel the contract without consequences.
