Question: Britney saw a sweatshirt advertised for sale for $30 in an Eddie Bauer catalog that she received forty days ago. She sent a check for $30 with her order for that one sweatshirt. The company returned her check, saying the price had risen to $38. Britney claimed Eddie Bauer breached by not selling her the sweatshirt for $30. The catalog was the August edition and Britney attempted to purchase the sweatshirt after mid September. There was no statement anywhere in the catalog stating prices were fixed or guaranteed.
