Consumer Law, Warranties An Offer quandary

[sthorpe1986]

I am at an impass over the following situation:

Mr A has made an offer of 60,000 to Mr B to complete a job for him, Mr B says that 60,000 is too much and that he 'might' give the go ahead 'if' the work could be carried out for 45,000 starting before the end of april.

Is this an offer? Do the words 'might' and 'if' change it somehow?

This sounds like homework again. The first offer of $60,000 has been rejected and has been countered with a "conditional" which does not constitute an offer. By saying you "might" do something you are not committing or offering to commit to anything.

Agreed. The term of art would be "counter offer" which jharris correctly states is not even the case since it is not a firm offer where an acceptance by A would be binding. B has never made an offer.
