Commercial Law, 2022 Bar — Question 12

ESSAY

In a Facebook livestream, an author offered his books online for sale by asking interested viewers to type in “Mine” in the chatbox. A set of his books was sold to a social media influencer who later turned out to be a “joy reserver.” A “joy reserver” refers to an online buyer who enthusiastically shows interest in an item but will not actually buy it. The author made a screenshot of the social media influencer's “Mine” message as proof of the acceptance of the offer. Does the screenshot of the message prove the perfection of the sale contract? Explain briefly.
