Dixie writes an e-mail to sell her bike for $1,000, but forgets to send it. Coincidentally, her classmate's mother wants to buy a bike for her kids and sends an e-mail to Dixie saying that she wants to buy her bike for $1,000. This is a valid offer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An offer requires communication of the intent to be bound by the terms, which did not occur here as Dixie did not send her email. The classmate's mother's email is an independent offer, not an acceptance of Dixie's unsent offer.
