Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Iowa
The sale of a game system by a underage minor
is it legal to honor the sale of merchandise totaling around 550.00 from a 16 year old minor. The child received 230.00 for a ps3 and two games from the store CD's Plus with a iowa id. and no approval from a parent?

Re: The sale of a game system by a underage minor
I believe this is governed by Iowa Code ch. 599.2
599.2 Contracts � disaffirmance.
A minor is bound not only by contracts for necessaries, but also by the minor�s other contracts, unless the minor disaffirms them within a reasonable time after attaining majority, and restores to the other party all money or property received by the minor by virtue of the contract, and remaining within the minor�s control at any time after attaining majority except as otherwise provided.
So yes, it is legal.
