I tend to place, "first one to post, 'I'll take it' within this thread has priority." In that scenario, the board's software clearly shows who the buyer is.
Of course, I am probably wrong for doing this, as some people may not want to publicize that they are buying a baseball card...on an Internet forum dedicated to baseball cards.
Oh well, such is life. One cannot possibly hope to please (read, cater to) everyone.
As it pertains to the discussion at hand, I feel as though an offer to purchase an item at asking price trumps ongoing negotiations to secure said item at a discount. Hagglers surely know the chess match they are playing and cannot realistically hope to win every time.
Just my two cents.
Best regards,
Eric
