Ok I just got home from work and 2 people have posted in my thread in the EE.  Both have followed up with IM's

First guy posts:

IM sent posting for feedback

his IM says:  If it is XXXXXX part number I will take it.  It is XXXXX part number.

Second posts:

I will take it if still available.  He follows up with IM saying he will take it send him the address for usps money order.

Under our rules it seems I'm obligated to sell to the second guy who posted I will take it if still available with no doubts or conditions correct?

You can sell it to who you want to regardless of who said I'll take it.

I think it goes to the first person. No different than someone talking to you at the register and saying I'll buy that if it has serial number XXXX, then some guy in the front of the store yells "I'll take it"

If the first guy said that he'd take it if it was XXXXX and it is in fact XXXXX then I'd personally sell it to that guy since he said that he'd take it.  Where a person runs into trouble is if what you have is not XXXXX but he later IM's back and said that he'd take it anyway...then I would have had no problems selling it to the second guy.  Hope that helps.

This is an unknown area for me to comment on since I never get rid of anything.

LOL...thanks.  I'm in a situation where I'm going to build a rifle with a budget in mind with the OK from mama, but if I get rid of some stuff I'm not using anyway then my budget goes up so I can get an even better setup.  Now if I could quit changing my mind on what I want...243  260 Remington  7mm-08  308 30 06 300 win mag no 243 wait oh jeez.

I'd sell it to the one that has PayPal, who wants to wait for $ via snail mail that your not even sure was mailed.

I don't have paypal I'm kind of old fashioned...lol...I still write checks to pay my bills through mail and still get a paper check at work.  I'm in no hurry to build this gun I want to take my time and research everything.

Then I'd go with the first guy.

if the part you have is what the first guy is looking for then by rights you should sell it to him.

I would sell it to the first guy this seems like a silly question seems pretty cut and dry and he has been around much longer which often times but not always means he will not screw you over.

It's sold to the first guy.  It seemed like the right thing to do, but I wasn't 100% sure about the rules here.  I ask a lot of silly questions, but I'd rather ask a silly question then do something silly because I didn't ask first to get it right

i'm not aware of the rules, but the first to say they'll take it is the way to go.  i'd have done the same thing you did.  gotta have some 'honor' around here when we can...

I explained the situation to both guys and the second guy was real cool about it and agreed it to go to the other guy so all is good.

This is the correct answer. I would've sold it to the first guy if it was me.
