Legal Question in Consumer Law in Washington

Re: Seller's rights - Disputed purchase

You asked this question correctly, thank you.

Your rights in a special order purchase are to have the buyer pay for the specially ordered goods. There is a whole section under the UCC as adopted in WA discussing obligations to specially manufactured goods. It is different when the item cannot be re-sold on the open market because you had it especially made for one buyer's requirements.

Your obligation is to attempt to cover - to mitigate your damages by trying to make the sale to another buyer.

Having tried that, you could take the buyer to small claims court and you could prevail there. You would be entitled to recover the value of the lost sale.

I don't have enough facts to give you more advice than that.

Hope this helps. Powell
