Jerry knows that Lucy has coveted his classic car for quite some time. Finally willing to sell it, he sends a letter to Lucy offering to sell the car for $15,000. Lucy responds by saying she needs time to arrange financing. Lucy offers Jerry $100 to keep the offer open for two weeks. Jerry agrees, taking the $100. Three days later, Roberta contacts Jerry saying she is interested in buying the car and has the cash to buy it outright. Jerry is concerned that if he doesn't sell the car to Roberta now, she may not be interested later. Furthermore, Lucy may never be able to arrange financing. Jerry is afraid he may end up with no buyer at all. He comes to you for advice. What do you advise

    Despite the fact that it seems jerry can easily take a bow of the discussion with Lucy and forge ahead in selling the car to Roberta, he had certain restrictions that he should respect. Accepting $100 from Lucy, Jerry entered into what we know as an "Option" contract, giving an option to Lucy to buy the car in the next two weeks.

    Irrespective of Lucy's financial status, jerry should respect the contract that he has entered into. As a back-up, he can hold discussions with Roberta and can request her to wait for 2 weeks when the option period expires and he can sell the car to her at an outright payment
