I answered this question when I purchased a can of
energy one day at the grocery store. I went over to the isle shelf where the
product was located and I noticed that it had an invitation to treat for $1.99.
The price to me was higher than I wanted to pay. Because, a few days before, I
went into that store and saw that it had another invitation to treat at $1.50 a
can. After two years studying on my own the laws of contracts, and always
hearing from others the old saying you have to pick and choose your battles, I
decided to put it to the test. Walking over to one of the sales associates and
asking for a manager to speak with, she politely assisted my request by calling
one to the front where I stood waiting. As I waited I was rehearsing in my head
the elements to make a contract bona fide. It wasn’t long after I had started
rehearsing what I was going to say, she arrived to answer to any issues or
questions I had. I asked her a series of questions pertaining to contracts and after
having this tete-a-tete with her she sold me the product at the $ 1.50 price. I
wanted to test the waters that day and now I understand that what I had studied
on the law of contracts. really works. I also know that negotiations might not
come easy in some situations in dealing with merchants but being diligent and
exercising your freedom to contract can be beneficial in commerce not only in
consideration to you but also the store that the product was negotiated because
not all products are sold at a conscionable price even though they’ll tell you
all about it.
