    (1) Under the conditions stated in KRS 355.2 -703 on seller's remedies, the seller may

    resell the goods concerned or the undelivered balance thereof. Where the resale is

    made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner the seller may recover

    the diffe rence between the resale price and the contract price together with any

    incidental damages allowed under the provisions of this article (KRS 355.2 -710),

    but less expenses saved in consequence of the buyer's breach.

    (2) Except as otherwise provided in subse ction (3) or unless otherwise agreed resale

    may be at public or private sale including sale by way of one (1) or more contracts

    to sell or of identification to an existing contract of the seller. Sale may be as a unit

    or in parcels and at any time and place and on any terms but every aspect of the sale

    including the method, manner, time, place and terms must be commercially

    reasonable. The resale must be reasonably identified as referring to the broken

    contract, but it is not necessary that the goods be in existence or that any or all of

    them have been identified to the contract before the breach.

    (3) Where the resale is at private sale the seller must give the buyer reasonable

    notification of his intention to resell.

    (4) Where the resale is at public sale

    (a) only identified goods can be sold except where there is a recognized market

    for a public sale of futures in goods of the kind; and

    (b) it must be made at a usual place or market for public sale if one is reasonably

    available and except in the case of go ods which are perishable or threaten to

    decline in value speedily the seller must give the buyer reasonable notice of

    the time and place of the resale; and

    (c) if the goods are not to be within the view of those attending the sale the

    notification of sale must state the place where the goods are located and

    provide for their reasonable inspection by prospective bidders; and

    (d) the seller may buy.

    (5) A purchaser who buys in good faith at a resale takes the goods free of any rights of

    the original buyer even though the seller fails to comply with one (1) or more of the

    requirements of this section.

    (6) The seller is not accountable to the buyer for any profit made on any resale. A

    person in the position of a seller (KRS 355.2 -707) or a buyer who has rightful ly

    rejected or justifiably revoked acceptance must account for any excess over the

    amount of his security interest, as hereinafter defined (subsection (3) of KRS 355.2-

    711).
