Gappelberg v. Landrum

Nathan Gappelberg (plaintiff) bought a big-screen television from Neely Landrum, doing business as The Video Station (defendant), and after the screen turned out damaged, Landrum made repeated failed repair attempts before Gappelberg finally refused further repairs and demanded Landrum take the television back; Landrum offered a replacement television instead, but Gappelberg insisted on a full refund and sued when refused. The trial court denied Gappelberg relief because he had refused Landrum's replacement offer, and an appellate court held Landrum retained the right to offer a replacement even after Gappelberg's rejection, prompting Gappelberg's further appeal.
