I have two forum members that both want to buy a Norfolk regiment OSD that I have for sell on the forum.One sent a PM first but did not post a reply on the sell thread,The other posted on the thread & PM`d later.
Who gets it ?

In the absence of a specified means of saying "I want to buy it" by posting on the thread or sending a PM, I'd suggest whoever got the request in first by whichever means.

I would have thought the first pm received would have been the buyer.

It would be easier to reply to the thread first, then at least others know someone's gone for it.

I post on the thread & send a pm both stating clearly that I want to buy.
I don't just post on thread "pm sent" as I've learned from experience on other forums that can mean "I've sent a pm asking if you'll reduce the price, consider a trade, or I'm just trying to put off other prospective buyers while I do some research, decide if I really do want it & whether I can afford it".

I have forgotten to post on thread very occasionally, & I accept that buyers don't necessarily want to tell all & sundry what they're buying.
