OWEN V. TUNISON
131 Me. 42, 158 A. 926 (1932)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a damages action for breach of a contract to sell real
property.
FACTS: Owen (P) wrote a letter asking Tunison (D) if he would sell his Bradley block and
lot for $6,000. D replied that it would not be possible to sell the land unless he was to
receive $16,000 cash. D further noted that the building was in first class condition. P sent
a message to D accepting the $16,000 offer. D refused to sell because he did not make an
offer. P brought suit. The judgment was given to D because the letter of the $16,000 was not
an offer to sell but merely an intent to open negotiations.
