[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3745791, member: 24531"] I thought that it was a given that whoever shows up with the money first wins? Lying or scamming, etc. is awful, but if whenever I've ever posted say a vehicle for sale somewhere, I make it clear if I am getting other calls and whoever shows up with the money is the winner. This is because someone can commit to a deal and then back out and then the seller has turned away other buyers; so this example given in this thread could work the opposite direction right? Having said all that, I have sold tickets before and honored the deal despite getting higher offers. I just think as long as someone is honest, maybe we should all assume that people need the money and can't be faulted for making the best deal they can as long as they don't legitimately scam someone. I did once sell a vehicle to a guy from Tulsa. I told him that if I got a better offer, I would let him know before he got time to come see it. He was okay with that, but once he was in route, I did not check my e-mails and waited for him to get here to see it. I would not have sold it while he was literally on the way. Is telling people in the listing that the highest bidder who shows up first wins reasonable? How do you handle it if you are selling something a lot of people are interested? Do you let them outbid or what? [/QUOTE]
