According to the UCC, the implied warranty of merchantability means that the goods being sold by a merchant are fit for the ordinary purpose for which such goods are used. This means that the goods are of a quality that can be reasonably expected from such goods in terms of their performance, safety, and durability. It does not mean that the goods are fit for the buyer's particular purpose, the best quality that money can buy, or suitable for resale at an acceptable price.
