FACTS: Reed is interested in starting a collection of valuable first-edition books. Reed met with Martina, an expert in rare books and consultant to collectors of rare and first-edition books. Martina told Reed that she had recently acquired a very rare, first-edition book worth $3500. Martina stated she would sell the book to Reed for $3500 to start his collection. Neither Martina nor Reed knew the book was a newly printed fake worth only $50. Reed trusted Martina and bought the book from her for $3500.

Within days after the purchase, Reed took the book to an antiques appraiser and learned the book was a fake. He informed Martina who was shocked to learn the book was a fake.
