Joe said that he'd changed his mind and refused to go through with the deal.Harry sued.Explain Joe's legal liability.
Answer: In this case, when Harry said he'd give Joe $450, that was a counte-roffer, which wiped out the original offer.It was too late for Harry to accept the original $500 offer, since it had lapsed.At most, his supposed "acceptance" was another offer to purchase for $500, which was not accepted by Joe.
