Problem
In preparation for stocking his showroom, Craig called Alexis a distributor of boats on March 15, 2022 to order a Starcraft Super fisherman 186 boat. Alexis told Craig that the boat would cost $36,700 plus shipping. Craig told Alexis to ship the boat. The same day, Alexis confirmed the order in a fax to Craig that specified that a Starcraft Super fisherman 186 boat would be shipped to Craig for delivery on or before April 15, 2022, at a price of $36,700 plus shipping costs. Craig received the fax, but did not respond. On April 1, 2022, Craig discovered he could buy a Starcraft Superfisherman 186 boat from Rebecca, another distributor for $35,000 which included shipping charges. He immediately called Alexis and canceled the order for the boat. Two weeks later, Alexis, who had a large inventory of Starcraft Superfisherman 186 boats, sold the boat she had planned to deliver to Craig to Stuart, another customer for $36,700 plus shipping charges. Alexis has started a lawsuit against Craig for breach of contract. Craig has answered raising the defense of the statute of fraud.
