You sound AGRV8D.

Sorry,but I had to.I would never step on anyone`s feet.I just jumped in on the 1st responder`s offer first.
What bugs me is when stuff happens like on those N.O.S. sport mirrors that just came up for sale this morning.The responses went like this:
1)PM sent
2)Are these still available
3)I will take them as the first affirmative responder in the thread...(my response)
$)Mirrors sold to...(see #1)

I hate that crap.What`s the big secret?Why can`t a guy just post that he`ll take them?I really think it should be a rule to keep all initial responses in the thread.Then,came become private once it`s no one else`s business.But,how do we know what the PM was?How do we know it is an affirmative purchase?How do we know if it didn`t take three or four PMs before an affirmative sale was made?Meanwhile in the thread there is an unconditional commitment to the piece at the offered price.For all I know the guy bought them for less than asking price when minutes later the seller could have gotten his price to someone who openly committed.I figured I already missed them,,but still tryed and at least felt I`d make a point,like I am now.Yeah,I`m AGRV8D2.
