Lonergan v. Scolnick 129 Cal.App.2d 179, 276 P.2d 8. (1954) Facts: D puts ad in the paper to sell 40 acre property, D and P send letters back and forth in the meantime D sells property to 3 rd party. The fact that it is a form letter, then it is more like an ad. Not intended for any particular person. The letter is probably sent to many people. No contract because D never made an offer. In typical sale of property the buyer makes an offer.
Analysis:
Fairmount Glass Works v. Grunden-Martin Woodenware 106 Ky. 659, 51 S.W. 196. Facts: Analysis: Grunden makes an inquiry. Fairmount wrote, “For immediate acceptance” and they wrote in response to a request for an offer so it is an offer. There are some ambiguities like what is the quantity and the business about the first class goods, but the courts sees this as normal for the industry.
