Twо оld friends recоnnected over drinks аt their high school clаss reunion. During the course of their reminiscing, one of the friends pulled аn old newspaper clipping out of his wallet and showed it to his classmate. The clipping was a newspaper article from when their high school bowling team had won the regional championship and featured a photograph of both friends with some of their old teammates. The classmate asked her friend if he would sell her the clipping. The friend replied, “I don’t think so. I’ve kept this in my wallet all these years as a good luck charm, but I’m sure you can get a copy of the article yourself from the newspaper’s website for free.” The classmate was not dissuaded and kept pestering her friend to sell her the clipping. After further conversation, and a couple more drinks, the friend finally orally agreed to sell the newspaper clipping to the classmate for $1,000. They agreed that the classmate would bring the $1,000 in cash to the friend’s house that weekend. The classmate wrote her name and cellphone number on a napkin and told the friend to text her his home address. The friend texted the classmate his address the next day, but the classmate never responded. The friend filed suit for breach of contract against the classmate for $1,000. The classmate wants you to represent her against the friend and meets with you to discuss the case. Which of the following is the classmate’s best defense to a breach of contract claim? Select one.
