Comparing Enforceable and Unenforceable Agreements
Consider two separate agreements. In Agreement A, one person agrees to sell a '2023 Trek Marlin 5 bicycle, serial number WXY123Z' to another for $500, with payment and delivery on a specified date. In Agreement B, one person promises to sell 'a decent bike' to another for 'a fair price' sometime next month. Analyze why Agreement A would likely be considered a legally enforceable agreement, while Agreement B would not. In your analysis, explain the challenges a court would face when trying to resolve a dispute related to Agreement B.
