§ 1302.83.

(A) When the buyer fails to pay the price as it becomes due the seller may recover, together

with any incidental damages under section 1302.84 of the Revised Code , the price: (1) of goods accepted or of conforming goods lost or damaged within a commercially reasonable

time after risk of their loss has passed to the buyer;  and (2) of goods identified to the contract if the seller is unable after reasonable effort

to resell them at a reasonable price or the circumstances reasonably indicate that

such effort will be unavailing. (B) Where the seller sues for the price he must hold for the buyer any goods which have

been identified to the contract and are still in his control except that if resale

becomes possible he may resell them at any time prior to the collection of the judgment.  The net proceeds of any such resale must be credited to the buyer and payment of

the judgment entitles him to any goods not resold. (C) After the buyer has wrongfully rejected or revoked acceptance of the goods or has

failed to make a payment due or has repudiated as provided in section 1302.68 of the Revised Code , a seller who is held not entitled to the price under this section shall nevertheless

be awarded damages for non-acceptance under section 1302.82 of the Revised Code .
