The sent commodity price list is a way for commodity producers or sellers to promote commodities. This way, of course, expresses the intention of the actor to conclude a contract, but it does not mean that others will conclude a contract immediately after expressing their commitment. In fact, there is no difference between the price list issued and the price display of goods, but the way is different. The price display of goods is also an invitation to offer.
