In January, he placed an advertisement in a car trade magazine, ‘Trini Tuners , stating that he would supply filters for $60 per filter, but would consider a reduction in the price for substantial orders. He received a letter from Toyota Trinidad Ltd. requesting his terms of supply for 1000 filters.
Al replied, offering the supply at a cost of $50 each. Toyota Trinidad Ltd. responded to Al’s letter stating that they accepted his offer but that they would pay only $45.00 per filter. Al wrote back to Toyota Trinidad Ltd stating that he would supply the filters but only at the original price of $50. When Al’s letter arrived, the purchasing director of Toyota Trinidad Ltd. did not notice the alteration of the price and ordered the 1000 filters from Al, which was supplied.
