Again, like at a show, if someone is looking at a card, someone else isn't going to be able to buy it until the first person puts it down and says no.

Again, how is "I'll take it" not a commitment? What more was Jonathan supposed to do other than cancel all his plans for the day in order to hang by his computer or iphone anxiously awaiting Cody's next message? You are making this endlessly complicated for some reason, I just don't see it.
