Giardetti, a retailer, placed an advertisement in a local newspaper on May 5th that read: "Special Sale! New 16" portable TV set available for sale to the first 10 customers at my store on May 10th at a sale price of $100 each. Regular price $199. First come, first served!" Don was the 10th customer in the store on May 10th, but Giardetti refused to sell him a TV set for $100. If Don had seen the notice on the shop door on May 9th; he could still accept the offer, because the offer was irrevocable.

Advertisement

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The advertisement was an invitation to treat, not a formal offer, and therefore it was not irrevocable. Giardetti was not legally obligated to sell the TV to Don even if he was the 10th customer.
