Hypothetical

Marisol, a furniture maker, emailed Beacon Cafe: "I can build you a custom walnut workbench for $3,200. Let me know by Friday." Beacon's owner replied on Saturday by text: "Looks great — go ahead." Marisol had already sold the walnut to another buyer. Beacon then signed a written purchase order for a different bench at $3,400 from another shop and now sues Marisol for the difference. Marisol argues nothing was ever agreed.
