The first potential buyer who states that he definitely wants an item gets it. Those having questions who do not definitely commit to purchase in their first inquiry will have their questions answered but may lose the sale if another buyer e-mails after they do and definitely commits to purchase before we can get back to the first inquirer to answer their questions. This happens almost daily and disappoints a lot of people. If you see something you want- state a definite committment to buy it. You will not be disappointed.
