Hello Mike I have a bit of a doubt.. Say for example I want to sell old books..On one of the selling website I added list of the book with the price details and other description. I was contacted by a person about the book and I agreed.. So the contract is established but i forgot to take it off from the website. Later another person wrote to me that he accepts the offer and wants to buy a book but the book is already sold to someone else.. Can the person sue me for breach of contract ? Many thanks in advance
No, because each time someone responds to your advert, they are making you an offer. Responding to an advert is only very, very rarely taken to be acceptance of an offer
