I bet the buyer is just trying to pull a fast one on poor Jimmy. If I were him, I'd tell that guy to take a hike - with his own scooter!

I'm going with B. Jimmy's not a used car salesman, he's just a guy trying to sell his stuff. The buyer should be grateful Jimmy even considered their offer!

This is such a simple question. The answer has to be B. Jimmy's just exercising his rights as the owner of the scooter. The buyer should have learned to read the fine print!

D is definitely wrong. There's no way Jimmy has to sell the scooter if he doesn't want to. Sellers have the freedom to change their minds, even after getting an offer.

I think the answer is B. As the seller, Jimmy has the right to withdraw his item from sale at any time before a binding contract is formed. The buyer can't force him to sell it.
