Mary, a keen pottery collector, saw a notice for an auction at James Pottery Limited on September 30th 2017 in the Daily News. She traveled 300 kilometers, to attend the auction in order to bid for a particularly rare item of Mozart pottery, specifically mentioned in the list of items to be auctioned. However, when she got to the auction site, she found a notice outside stating that the auction had been cancelled. Mary thereafter proceeded to a nearby antique shop and saw an item of the same type of pottery she had come to bid for, which the price ticket stated as $5000. Mary indicated to the shop owner, Anthony, that she was only willing to pay $4,000 for it. However, Anthony said he would sell it for $4,500. Mary then indicated to him that she desires some time to think about it over lunch; Anthony subsequently, agreed not to sell the identified pottery before Mary returned. However, when Mary returned to purchase the pottery, she found that Anthony had already sold it to someone else, who had paid $4,500 for it.

In the context of contract law, advise Mary in 1000 words whether she can take action against Anthony or not using references to the law of contracts.
