A valid offer also requires definite and certain terms, including subject matter, price, quantity, quality, and the names of the contracting parties. Finally, a valid offer requires communication of the offer from the offeror (or the offeror’s agent) to the offeree (or the offeree’s agent.) 14- Auctions Auction With Reserve Seller merely expresses intent to receive offers Auctioneer (as representative of seller) may withdraw item from auction at any time before “hammer falls” Before hammer falls (signaling acceptance of offer), bidder/offeror may revoke bid Auction Without Reserve Seller must accept highest bid Auctions can be classified as either “with reserve” or “without” reserve.
