Linda offered to sell Rick her 50-inch TV for $2,000. Rick sent Linda an e-mail message accepting the offer but asked if he could pay Linda in four equal monthly installments of $500. Linda did not acknowledge Rick's email. She later sold the TV to someone else. Rick purchased another TV for $3,000 and sued Linda for the difference in the cost. Will Rick be successful and why?
