I have no problem whatsoever placing a short temporary hold on a card for someone on the board while they ponder their decision if they contacted me first.
There is no rule in affect here nor should there be one on this matter. It's the seller's call here, not the buyers . My two cents.

I would liken it to walking into a store and telling the proprieter that I'll take that item that you are currently showing that other customer, with the other customer pondering whether or not to buy it and possibly asking additonal questions of the seller.
The seller should finish dealing with the current customer, if they so chose, prior to waiting on a subsequent one.

Of course, extending a courtesy is not without risk sometimes. Not too long ago a board member who I had done a number of transactions with e-mailed to say, "Give me your best price on XXXX, and I'll take it." I knocked a little off the price (it already had been reduced) and e-mailed him back that the card was his. After not hearing back, I e-mailed him a day or so later. He replied that he had come up short on cash and wouldn't be buying the card. Live and learn.

Unless I specifically say on the post "SOLD to the first person to say I'll take it", I also am willing to give the first person that contacts me a shot...because they might want better scans or have questions they want answered before they commit.
