Final Answer : True, Explanation :  Under the principle of nemo dat quod non habet, a buyer can only obtain good title to goods if they are purchased from someone who is the rightful owner or has the authority to sell them. However, if Louella believes in good faith that Alden is the rightful owner or is authorized to sell the steam cleaner, she is considered a good faith purchaser and is protected under the law, potentially acquiring good title even if Alden was not the rightful owner.
