Baker Agreed to Purchase a Set of Books on Display

question 44

True/False

Baker agreed to purchase a set of books on display in Flack's Book Store. The price for the set was $300, and Baker gave Flack $150 to "bind the bargain." Flack delivered the books to Baker's home the next day, but Baker refused delivery, as he had found a similar set in another shop at a slightly lower price. Flack is entitled to keep Baker's $150, as it was a deposit.
