That actually happened 'here' about ten years ago. A seller listed three BL 460 T206's and I was lucky enough to spot them. I bought two, contacted the seller and arranged to have them shipped immediately - all in the space of about an hour. Another board member bought the third, but was outed to the seller by a jealous board member. Things got ugly.

I'm sure it's happened more than once.
