Q Browne offered to sell Houlihan his recently purchased 50-inch plasma screen television set for $6400. Houlihan sent Browne an e-mail accepting the offer but asked if she could pay Browne in four equal monthly installments of $1600. Browne did not acknowledge Houlihan's e-mail and instead sold the television set to Drew for $6200. Houlihan then purchased a new set for $7400 and sued Browne for $1000, the difference in price. Did Houlihan and Browne have a valid contract and will Houlihan be able to recover $1000 form Browne? Very same question from Chapter 7, which deals with the issue is this a contract?

Is the email an issue of any relevance (you might take both sides on this one, the pro and the con.)
