Was the seller an individual? a corporation? a government? a government organization? a nonprofit? another organization? another group of individuals? Were they trying to raise their profile generally? attract attention to something they were doing? |

Is it something other than a single solid object with an exact fixed shape? does it have solid parts which normally move relative to one another? does its shape change smoothly like a sponge? does it have any liquid parts? or gaseous parts? is the whole thing intended to move by itself? does it have anything else which might reasonably be considered a "moving part"? Is it flat? round? square? rectangular? triangular? polygonal? irregulary shaped? or is it long and thin? |

Is it functional? decorative? is it normally used for entertainment? is it normally used in conjunction with something else? Is it fixed in one place? would it normally be moved frequently? Was it initially the seller's property? Did someone give some money to the seller? Did it then become that person's property? |

Was there a misunderstanding on the woman's part regarding the physical dimensions of item? Was the actual item much smaller than what the woman was thinking it was going to be? |

Was the actual item much smaller than what the woman was thinking it was going to be? no RECAP: One woman (whom I know well) should have had the opportunity of her lifetime to get a pair of glasses much cheaper than normally. It didn't work out, however, because of circumstances yet to be established. This could apply to other people as well, some of whom might well have used the opportunity to their advantage. |

Was it some kind of an exchange scheme where old glasses were to be exchanged for new ones? And she didnt have the old ones? Or was the discount based on the power of the glasses? And hers was low? Did the customers have to fulfil some qualifying condition to be eligible for the offer? Did the customers have to do some action before being eligible? |

Was the offer made by an optician? Was the offer made to a specific customer? eg the millionth customer? or the first customer? Did the offer apply to a specific pair of glasses? if so, would they have been unsuitable for her? |

Did she already have a pair of glasses? did she actually need a new pair? did she want one? Did the offer apply to a complete pair of glasses? just the frames? just the lenses? Could more than one person have availed of the offer? Could one person have availed of the offer more than once? |
