Robin Offered to Sell Her 10-Speed Touring Bicycle to Felicia

Robin offered to sell her 10-speed touring bicycle to Felicia for $200 on her return from a two-week bicycle trip to a distant city. At the end of the first week, Felicia received a long distance telephone call from Robin, in which Robin advised Felicia that she had decided not to sell the bicycle on her return. Felicia was disappointed, as a similar bicycle on the market would cost her at least $250. She decided to wait until Robin returned then urge her to go through with the sale. Before Robin reached home, her bicycle was stolen, and never found. Repudiation before the date fixed for performance is known as anticipatory breach.
