I don't know the law, but think there are some restrictions for contracts to be valid, but I heared the German law has the term contract on quite a lower basis. I was told, that in an typical sale there are several contracts involved: The contract about the sale itself, which binds the persons to doing the rest. The changing of the ownership of the good (Normaly done in the moment the good is handed by one person to the other). And the contract done by paying. (if it's cash. Don't want to know how many contracts are in place with more complicated things). I wouldn't be supprised if the offer to sell something by putting a price tag at it or advertising it in some form was also a binding contract... Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.
