FCB selling etiquette

[EricInCT]

Please help me understand how this works folks!

If someone inquires about an item for sale then the next person who sees the item says I will take it.....do you give the first person the opportunity to respond?

Money talks, bullshat walks.

unless im specifically asked to hold an item for someone, its available to the first person willing to pay.

it can get complicated at times, but I try and go first come first serve....however, if I dont hear back from the first person and the second is waiting and ready to PAYPAL............

The communication spanned 12 hours (inital to the last), that is why it is puzzling to me. I would have paid right away if I knew the way the seller thought process worked. Just wondering for the future.

12 hours is a long time....especially if it was during the day, even if it was overnight that is still really long. I would have moved on by then unless I got some other correspondence telling me you would not respond for that long.

Buying on a site like this is very different than something like eBay where you have an allowance for payment.

If I tell someone I'm buying, I'll pay asap...within the minutes.

I guess you are right. I inquired after midnight last night for the first time then I read the response at 8am, I guess they sold overnight. The seller wrote a lengthy email to me and never mentioned anyone else being interested. I thought I would have the opportunity today, I emailed him again this morning and they sold. I will have to much more aggressive in the future.

Payment was never an issue, I inquired about the condition and waited for a response.

Payment was never an issue, I inquired about the condition and waited for a response. Happened to me twice so far this week, I never buy any low end items since no one lists condition I feel I have to ask.

 

[All The Hype]

If I post a price, I would sell it to the first person who says "I'll take it for that price".

If you have been talking to the seller about the card, then it's a different situation, but it is so hard to sell on FCB already, so if someone is willing to buy, I usually don't hesitate to take it.
