Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The letter inviting Dean to buy any item at the advertised price is not an offer, but rather an invitation to make an offer. An offer must include specific details such as price, quantity, and delivery date, and there must be a clear intent to enter into a contract. Since there is no room for negotiation and the catalogue lists the prices, it is clear that Dean would simply be making an offer to purchase a specific item at the advertised price. Therefore, the personalized letter does not create an offer.
