Minors and Contracts

    can anybody explain to me what the situation is with minors and contracts. I know that generally minors can only contract for necessities. Let us say, hypothetically, a minor sold something that was a gift from a parent.

    The sale is a contract so is that contract void because they are a minor?

    On the other hand would the item be even theirs to sell? Would the parents maintain some rights over what was gifted after it was given? I am thinking not but if someone could clarify i would be grateful.

    A gift is a gift, you (generally) retain no rights.

    However, a six year old selling his school books to his friend would be without full consent, as the seller is a minor.
