Baker agreed to purchase a set of books on display in Flack's Book Store. The price for the set was $300, and Baker gave Flack $150 to 'bind the bargain'. Flack delivered the books to Baker's home the next day, but Baker refused delivery, as he had found a similar set in another shop at a slightly lower price. Baker is obliged to take delivery, as the title passed when the contract was made.
