Syllabus

Equipment broker breached contract by failing to deliver specific track frames depicted in photographs that induced buyer's agreement to purchase. Jury verdict finding no breach was against manifest weight of evidence where broker admitted delivered goods differed from those shown in inducing photographs. Photographic representations used to induce contract formation establish what parties bargained for and do not violate parol evidence rule. Trial court did not abuse discretion in excluding CFO's lay opinion testimony regarding reasonableness of equipment repair costs and percentage impact on project costs where testimony required specialized analytical conclusions beyond witness's personal knowledge under Evid.R. 701.
