SECTION 6A-2-603

   § 6A-2-603  Merchant buyer's duties as to rightfully rejected goods. – (1) Subject to any security interest in the buyer (§ 6A-2-711(3)), when the seller has no agent or place of business at the market of rejection a merchant buyer is under a duty after rejection of goods in his or her possession or control to follow any reasonable instructions received from the seller with respect to the goods and, in the absence of such instructions, to make reasonable efforts to sell them for the seller's account if they are perishable or threaten to decline in value speedily. Instructions are not reasonable if on demand indemnity for expenses is not forthcoming.

   (2) When the buyer sells goods under subsection (1), he or she is entitled to reimbursement from the seller or out of the proceeds for reasonable expenses of caring for and selling them, and, if the expenses include no selling commission, then to such commission as is usual in the trade or, if there is none, to a reasonable sum not exceeding ten percent (10%) on the gross proceeds.

   (3) In complying with this section the buyer is held only to good faith, and good faith conduct hereunder is neither acceptance nor conversion nor the basis of an action for damages.
