George Was Approached by a Travelling Salesperson, Who Convinced Him

question 27

Essay

George was approached by a travelling salesperson, who convinced him to purchase an automatic weaving machine at a price of $900. To encourage the sale, the salesperson had verbally agreed to purchase, for a very modest price, any goods George wove which were up to a marketable standard. It was suitable for a home business, and George undertook a series of payments under a written agreement. The machine did a poor job, producing nothing marketable. The salesperson had disappeared in the meantime, having assigned the agreement to a finance company. The finance company was now looking to George for payment. George refused to pay.
