Paul Produce made the following statement to Barbie Buyer"Hey Barbie, I am thinking of selling my complete supply of bananas for 10 cents per pound." Discuss your legal position on whether the statement is an offer. If so, how long does it remain an offer?

Explanation:

To decide if an offer was made, the first step is to evaluate the language used. Words like “I think of selling my….” are generally construed as INVITING OFFERS since there is no actual or present commitment to the words. Paul made no commitment to sell his bananas hence there was no offer made. After scribing the quoted words on a banana, Paul has committed himself to make a present offer in the scribed text. Here, there is a promissory language for immediate acceptance.

Answer :

There was no offer made

Explanation :

From the statement made by Paul,

"I think... " there was no offer made here . Paul did not make any commitments because the statement started with "I think" and so there is no conclusive offer and we cannot conclude that Paul has made an offer here. We could however say that Paul may be inviting an offer and not making an offer since Barbie could now say she wants to buy for a certain price
