If a minor sells property that the buyer then resells to a good faith purchaser for value and the minor then disaffirms the sales contract, under both the traditional view and the UCC, the minor can recover the property from the good faith purchaser for value since the minor has the power of avoidance and both purchasers had only voidable title.

Under the traditional view, a minor can disaffirm the contract and recover the property even from a good faith purchaser for value because the minor's disaffirmance voids the contract ab initio, leaving the good faith purchaser without valid title. However, under the UCC, when a minor sells goods to a buyer who then resells the goods to a good faith purchaser for value, the good faith purchaser generally obtains good title, protecting their interest over the minor's right to disaffirm. This difference reflects the UCC's aim to promote good faith purchases and commercial certainty.
