Subject to this Law, where goods are sold by a person who is not the owner thereof, and who does not sell them under the authority or with the consent of the owner, the buyer acquires no better title to the goods than the seller had, unless the owner of the goods is, by his conduct, precluded from denying the seller's authority to sell.
Nothing in this Law shall affect —
the provisions of any enactment or the common law enabling the apparent owner of goods to dispose of them as if he were the true owner thereof; or
the validity of any contract of sale under any special common law or statutory power of sale or under the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
