[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 4264849, member: 5800"] There's plenty of examples where a post has been made, and I say I'll take it within 10 minutes to be number 3 or more in line. A good deal is going to get a frenzy of sharks. I've been here since 2009 with lots of transaction in the new feedback system and the old. Guess what? I get no special preference other than 1 point: If someone looks at the "75" next to my name, they'll probably know I'm legit. I tend to do trades more than not and 100% know that if I propose a trade on a post where its primarily for sale, I am losing out to anyone that shows up with cash before me. For someone with "Pro Freedom" in their username you seem like you'd love to restrict how sales are done. Anyone on here is absolutely free to buy or sell what they want, how they want, to whom they want (subject to certain federal and state guidelines). I'm sure there's people that don't like me and don't want to sell or buy from me just because they don't like me. Cool. I'm sure there's people that will get multiple offers or PMs and pick the member they like best. Cool. There's no law saying anyone has dibs because they send a PM/Offer. No rule saying "I'll take it" trumps anything. If I went to Wanenmacher carrying around a Barrett 50 cal with a dowel rod in it that said "$1000 cash" I bet I'd have a crowd of people wanting to buy and I could take my pick --- even F2F there's no obligation to sell to the first person that came up to me. IIRC the only real thing is that if a deal is agreed upon by both parties, then it's considered binding and breaking that is grounds for negative feedback. MOST people SEEM to go by "I'll take it" giving dibs, and SEEM to go by order of PM or thread post, and SEEM to always consider an "I'll take it" to trump an offer. But everyone's mileage will vary.
