I messaged him, let him know of other interested parties, was confirming pricing and things and would have let him know I was waiting on others, but again I never got a response from him until 5 hours after his comment. He never confirmed he was first and I never confirmed he was. He just assumed his comment being on there somehow made him the one who got it. I would have explained it all in messages, but with no response from him before it sold I never got the chance until I saw his message this morning and told him I sold it. Then he became upset and messaged Leon and threatened legal action. At no point did I ever say he was first to want it. He assumed his comment made that clear and then expected it to be his. When I tried to explain he wasn’t the first the claim and I was working out details with others and waiting on confirmation of payment to mark sold (like what it shows in my “derogatory” message to him, he threatened legal action and I blocked him after.

He actually was the first, and only one known to say "I'll take it. You could have had 300 people interested, but you had only 1 that said "I'll take it" that's on record.
I think asking for DMs is a bad idea vs staying on the board for I'll take it. Everyone can see that, and there's no doubt. DM should be used to follow up the transaction, and ample time should be given. Maybe a survey or poll say 12hrs, 24hrs to finalize a deal. If you had that many people interested, it should be a bit easier for patience on a response.
Like I pointed out in another post how long did it take for you to join the convo on board before you first responded? A little over 5 hours? I don't fault you for that, just pointing it out. I agree with you on you'd think he would have acted faster, but also agree he thought he was the guy that was in the drivers seat for the item. I actually don't know either of you, just trying to paint a picture that helps in the future.
