The contract was a valid contract initially as Jane sold the stereo to Robert for $200. However, since Robert is a minor, he has the option to disaffirm the contract within a reasonable time after turning 18. Therefore, Robert can disaffirm the contract and return the stereo, making the contract voidable.
