I won't hold a bike for anyone except for the time when they leave their house until they get to my place. I promise not to sell a bike while they are on the road to my place to look at a bike. But I can't promise there won't be another guy when he gets here who might be biding against him.

Cash is king, The buyer who gets here first with cash s/he is willing to lay on the table gets preference every time. It's my bike to sell however I wish using whatever rules I think are fair. I feel first-come first serve is fair and I don't lead anyone on -just give them the whole truth about how things work.

Waiting around for people who may or may not ever show up "tomorrow" or maybe the next day is just wasting my time IMHO. But if someone else wants to sell their bike another way or play by different "gentleman rules" that's fine with me too. It's your bike until you sell it and it's a Free Market out there. As long as someone doesn't tell me how I must deal on my bikes I'm fine however they want to do it with their own sales -even if I laugh, giggle, or raise my eyebrows about it. It's mostly not my business other than I'm constantly observing how other people do things.

There is always a chance of finding a better way that makes my life easier & better.
