641 P.2d 628 (1982)
Relevant factsFree
The Potters (plaintiffs) orally agreed to sell 192,000 turkey poults to Hatter Farms (defendant), and after informing Hatter of other purchase offers they had, the Potters turned those offers down without Hatter objecting; months later Hatter told the Potters it no longer needed the poults, and the Potters sued and won a jury verdict, prompting Hatter's appeal on statute-of-frauds grounds.
IssueFree
Whether an oral contract unenforceable under the UCC statute of frauds may still be enforced where the party seeking enforcement proves promissory estoppel.
