I read some of the case law. It completely reinforced my prior understanding. It seems clear that absent unusual language or circumstances, an "offer" to the public not made to a specific individual -- such as an advertisement, display, catalog, price list, etc. -- is uniformly considered an invitation to treat, not a binding offer. The cases matter a GREAT deal.

Are you a lawyer?
