When conducting trades online what is the proper amount of time to give before you move in and try to get what is on the table?
Lets say Guy A has a knife that both Guy B and Guy C want. Guy B initiates a deal and for several days discuss what is on the table in between amasses a list of trade values and descriptions and getting pictures of all blades involved.....and after sending that out and not hearing anything back the following day resends the email. 4 days pass, Guy B not wanting to sound too eager or pressure/bother Guy A decides to call on the evening of day 4, only to find out Guy C called last night and got it in a deal on said knife. Upon the call from Guy B to Guy A, Guy B finds out that Guy A never got the value emails...neither time he sent it. Guy A assumed Guy B wasn't interested in the knife and Guy C got the knife. Guy C and Guy B have had deals in the past and are on good terms.....should Guy B ask Guy C to back out of the deal as it was a failure in communication that he didn't get the knife or should Guy B just leave it alone and wait for the next time. The knife is VERY uncommon and Rarely/NEVER come up on open trade.
This is of course a hypothetical situation and all GUY A,B, and C are all fiction....I just want the Packs thoughts on this.

i think they should thumb wrestle for it. in the event of a draw, however, the character of the two gentlemen must decide how things go. i don't think there should be a rule on this one. it seems to be guy c's knife at the end of the story and if he's an extremely nice guy, we're talkin ned flanders nice, he'll let it go.

The only honorable thing is for all three, to give thier knives to guy D. BTW, I am guy D.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I think guy C should have contacted guy A immediately and told guy A if the deal doesn't go through , let me know, I'm interested (guy C), giving guy B his chance and being fair. This way you get first (second really) dibbs and not take the chance on being guy D, E, or Z!
