You are calling list as a class method so you need to define it as a
class method

def self.list

some stuff

end

or you need to call it as an instance method

s = Sale.new
@stamp = s.list

or even

@stamp = Sale.new.list

Now you have the opposite problem… You are now calling list as an
instance
method and you have it defined as a class method.

You need to do ONE of the following.

Define it as a class method, and call it as a class method:

def self.list
code
end

@list = Sale.list

Define it as an instance method and call it as an instance method:

def list
code
end

@list = Sale.new.list

However, based on what the list method does, it’s probably best that you
do
the former and have it be a class method.
