One day the Company made an announcement about an offer through local newspapers. They would like to sell 40 laptops at RO 65 each although the original price of each laptop was R0130. In fact, they wanted to dispose of the old stock in order to get the new one. The validity of the offer was from the 15Th November to the 30th November 2016.

On the 25th of November 2016, Mr. Adel happened to drop into the showroom to take the advantage of the offer and he found that there were only six laptops left. He immediately decided to buy all six for himself and for his relatives. He paid RO 400, as an advance and promised to pay the balance on the 30'h of November 2016 and the deal was done in black and white.

On the 29th of November when Adel came at 10 am to pay the balance amount and get his stock of six laptops, he was told by the sales manager that only two laptops were left for him. To his surprise, he found at the same time that one customer, Mr. Rashid, arrived in the showroom asking for the four laptops reserved for him by the sales manager.

Since Mel had reserved six laptops and paid the advance amount, he refused to take two laptops. Mel discovered that the sales manager had sold the four laptops to Rashid at RO 105 each without the knowledge of Adel.
