Able Seller sold 1,000 widgets to Baker Buyer. They are to be picked up by Buyer in lots of 100 each.

Since Baker Buyer has no credit, the terms require that each part of the goods be paid for as soon as delivery is made. Delivery is being made at the warehouse owned by Able Seller. Each lot of 100 requires payment of $10,000, so the whole contract price is $100,000.

Scenario A: Baker Buyer has picked up 2 lots of 100 widgets, but did not pay. He owes $10,000.

Able Seller has come to the law office and has asked for an immediate lawsuit for the entire price of $100,000. He intends to go ahead and let Baker Buyer pick up the rest of the widgets in the meantime.

The poor quality of some widgets has slowed his production.

Baker Buyer has come into the law office and intends to sue for damages. He could get replacements for the bad widgets from Able Seller, or get “cover” replacements from one of Able Seller’s competitors. But, he has chosen to stop production and rely 100% on a lawsuit for damages.
