Joe D.If the listing itself is not ironclad....
any question would be a 'condition' -- setting up an unfair situation for potential buyers.
I think by posting a response on the BST - it should be implied that the responder has an intent to purchase (unless stated otherwise).
So if someone is first in line and asks a question or requests a scan... I don't believe that should exclude that person from keeping a certain spot in line... It might very well be an indication of holes in the listing.
For instance, I just purchased a card on BST. My initial response requested a scan of the front and back. Should I lose this card to someone who is willing to buy it sight unseen?
In my opinion, the important protection for the seller and the 'next' people in line is a defined time frame. 24-hours from initial correspondence should be plenty of time to move to the next person in line.
