Dоnаld оwns а prоfessionаl quality drum set. Donald purchased it thinking that one day he would learn to play the drums and be the next Ringo Starr. He never did. The drums just gathered dust in the corner of his music room. Donald decided to sell his drum set and listed it on social media. Peter sees the ad and is interested because he is a struggling professional drummer. He has a cheap drum set but he believes a professional drum set may take his drumming to the next level. He believes that if he gets this set, he may be asked to be the drummer of a very popular, local 80s cover band known as “Flockin’ Seagulls.” This will increase his income a lot over the next year. Donald is offering to sell the drum set $1,500. The drum set was purchased new for $2,500. It has never been used – not even a single beat. Peter offers to buy the drum set for $750. He specifically tells Donald that he hopes to become the drummer for “Flockin’ Seagulls.” Donald accepts the offer and Peter makes a $100 down payment. However, because the transaction occurred on social media, they need to determine how Peter will get it because Peter does not have a vehicle (he is a broke musician, after all). Donald agrees to drive it to Peter for an additional $100. Donald agrees to deliver the drum set in 15 days. They write a brief contract with the above terms and the following: “If Donald does not deliver the drum set within 15 days of the signing of this contract, Donald promises to pay Peter $500.” After the contract is signed, Peter is so excited, he goes out and leases a new van to transport his beautiful new drum set. A few days after the contract is signed, Donald sells the drum set to the current drummer of Flockin’ Seagulls for $2,000. Peter learns of the breach of contract and rescinds the lease of his van for the loss of the down payment ($500) and an additional $500 penalty. Peter sues Donald for breach of contract. What legal remedies may apply and which remedy is most beneficial for Peter?
