Seller offers to sell Buyer his vintage Corvette for $50,000. Buyer says, "Give me a week to think about it." Seller replies, "Sure, no problem." Buyer dies the next day. 19 Buyer's son, Buyer Jr., whom Buyer had told about the offer prior to his death, wrote Seller an e-mail the next day, correctly stating, "This is Buyer Jr., Dad died last night, but in his will he left the car to me. I am the administrator of his estate, so on behalf of his estate, I accept. Tell me where to wire the money." Seller has since decided to keep the car and refuses to sell it to Buyer's estate.
If Buyer's estate sues Seller for breach of contract, the estate will:
(A) Lose, because e-mail is not an effective mode of acceptance given the circumstances.
(B) Lose, because Buyer Jr. did not have the power of acceptance even if he was the administrator of the estate.
(C) Prevail, if Buyer Jr. can show that he materially relied on the offer.
(D) Prevail, because he validly accepted the offer on behalf of the estate.
