You are the president of Haverland Fruit Company, and you ended negotiations with Western Jam and Jelly Co., having been highly insulted by the WJJ bid for Haverland strawberries at $12,000 per 10,000 baskets. Just before the harvest you found a buyer in Anderson Bakeries at $30,000 for the baskets, but once the trucks had been loaded and sent off, word arrived that Anderson would refuse the shipment as it had been shut down by a strike. The berries will rot in two more days on the trucks. The WJJ President is now on the phone to you with an offer of $8,500 for the berries. What do you do, in what order, and what principles of law are in play?
