3. The day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday, is the biggest shopping day of the year. One major retailer advertised a "Black Friday only" laptop for $150.

On Thanksgiving night, hundreds of people waited for the store to open to take

advantage of the laptop deal-only to learn that the store only had two units for

sale at the discounted price. Did the retailer breach its contract with the hundreds

of consumers who sought the deal? What obligation, if any, does the retailer have

to its consumers?

No there is no breach of contract since the retailer should have mentioned that stock is limited.

Explanation:

The retailer should have mentioned with the advertisement that the stock is limited. If such is the case then there is no breach as it is up to the store how many units it has kept for sale. The store should be opened on Black Friday and those customers who grab the sale items first will be given the discounted products. It is not responsibility of the store to entertain every customer as the stock in the store is limited.
