Instances Where a Seller Without Title Can Pass Good Title to the Buyer

1. Sale by a Mercantile Agent: If a mercantile agent sells goods within the authority granted by the owner, the buyer may acquire good title even if the agent had no ownership.
2. Sale under a Voidable Title: A buyer can obtain good title if the seller’s title is voidable but has not yet been voided at the time of the sale, such as in cases of fraud.
3. Sale by a Seller in Possession after Sale: If a seller retains possession of the goods after selling them and sells them to a third party in good faith, the third party may acquire good title.
4. Sale by a Buyer in Possession: If a buyer who has obtained possession of the goods but not the title resells them to a third party, the new buyer may obtain good title.
5. Sale under Estoppel: If the true owner’s actions lead a buyer to believe the seller has authority to sell, the owner may be estopped from denying the seller’s authority, allowing good title to pass.
