A week later Johnny sees another car he would rather buy. He purchases that, and then he tells Mark that he is revoking his offer.

Two days after that Mark said: “I’m sorry Johnny you made an offer in writing to buy my car. I’m going to hold you to that.”

Johnny replied: “Sorry I cannot do that.But I will promise to pay you $10,000 for the help you gave me last year around the house.”Somewhat mollified Mark accepts.

A week later and Johnny decided to renege on that promise as well.
