Statute Text
Sellers
resale including contract for resale.
(1) Under the conditions stated in ORS 72.7030 on sellers remedies, the seller
may resell the goods concerned or the undelivered balance thereof. Where the
resale is made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner the seller
may recover the difference between the resale price and the contract price
together with any incidental damages allowed under the provisions of ORS
72.7100, but less expenses saved in consequence of the buyers breach.
(2) Except as
otherwise provided in subsection (3) of this section or unless otherwise agreed
resale may be at public or private sale including sale by way of one or more
contracts to sell or of identification to an existing contract of the seller.
Sale may be as a unit or in parcels and at any time and place and on any terms
but every aspect of the sale including the method, manner, time, place and
terms must be commercially reasonable. The resale must be reasonably identified
as referring to the broken contract, but it is not necessary that the goods be
in existence or that any or all of them have been identified to the contract
before the breach.
(3) Where the
resale is at private sale the seller must give the buyer reasonable
notification of intention to resell.
(4) Where the
resale is at public sale:
(a) Only
identified goods can be sold except where there is a recognized market for a
public sale of futures in goods of the kind; and
(b) It must be
made at a usual place or market for public sale if one is reasonably available
and except in the case of goods which are perishable or threaten to decline in
value speedily the seller must give the buyer reasonable notice of the time and
place of the resale; and
(c) If the goods
are not to be within the view of those attending the sale the notification of
sale must state the place where the goods are located and provide for their
reasonable inspection by prospective bidders; and
(d) The seller
may buy.
(5) A purchaser
who buys in good faith at a resale takes the goods free of any rights of the
original buyer even though the seller fails to comply with one or more of the
requirements of this section.
(6) The seller is
not accountable to the buyer for any profit made on any resale. A person in the
position of a seller pursuant to ORS 72.7070 or a buyer who has rightfully
rejected or justifiably revoked acceptance must account for any excess over the
amount of the security interest of the person, as defined in ORS 72.7110 (3). [1961
