Another reason I think your position might have more validity than his is the concept of time. For instance, let's say someone offers a Dick Allen rookie card at a certain price. It goes unsold for a few days, then he's elected to the Hall of Fame, and suddenly several offers come in. Would the seller be compelled to sell at his listed (pre HOF) price?

When I was a kid, I got a coin collector magazine. One of the ads offered silver Franklin half dollars at a certain price. I ordered 10 of them, but had my check returned with a note saying the price had gone up. Again, that scenario seems to fit with your position rather than that of the other lawyer.

Something can be offered for sale at a stated price, but it isn't a contract until both parties agree it's a mutually agreed upon deal.
