You're selling at a card show.
A collector finds a card they really want but says they need to walk around before deciding.
They ask you to hold it for 30 minutes.
You agree.
Fifteen minutes later, another collector offers to buy the card at full asking price.
No deposit was taken. No money changed hands.
Now you've got a decision to make.
Do you honor the original 30-minute hold?
Or is the card fair game until someone actually pays?
There are reasonable arguments on both sides.
Let's hear them.
