This might be a case of "I'm interested" MEANING "I'll take it" .... I had that happen to me: I was offered a small phono at a decent price, and my reply was "I'm interested". To me, that meant "I will buy it, yes" , but to the seller, it meant "go ahead and sell it before Dan gets here", which is what he did. I'd ask the first person if he means absolutely to buy the book.

Yesterday I posted a book on phono-l. The first email said "I'm interested" and the second one said "I'll take it". This is not the first time that I've faced this dilemma. Often, people will ask for a photo. Should I send a photo and wait for a reply before going to the second potential buyer? I my many years of buying and selling, I have always offered a money back offer if the item is not what the buyer expected. I have never had anything returned. I always try to accurately describe anything that I'm selling. What does the rest of the group think?
