I seem to remember a famous Contracts case that involved an add for Fur coats about a hundred years ago. The point was that an add like TV's for $4 when it meant $400 was not specific enough but in the case of the Fur Coat it said "First person in the store gets it" and this guys showed up, they didn't give him the coat, he sued and won because the add was very specific and all it required was acceptance under the terms to form a binding contract. Ebay also has very specific language about bids being legally binding contracts.

Having said all that crap above that may or may not be a good representation of how I spent my time in Law School,

I say let it go.
