The distinction between a void and voidable title is not important in determining the rights of good faith purchasers of goods.

The distinction between a void and voidable title is important in determining the rights of good faith purchasers of goods. A void title means that the seller had no legal right to sell the goods, and therefore even a good faith purchaser cannot acquire valid title. In contrast, a voidable title means that the seller had the legal right to sell the goods, but that the transaction can be voided by the true owner. A good faith purchaser may acquire valid title to goods sold under a voidable title, but not under a void title.
