You make a good point and things should be straight forward.
1. If the op received a message from another member sooner than yours which was 11 minutes after the thread was posted, also saying they "will take it" then that person should get it. If no such other offer was made then the sale should go to Vyc, the first to say he would take it.
2. If the shaft was sold to another member because they were quicker to say they will take it, proper etiquetts should be the seller gets in touch with anyone else who expressed interest to buy it, like Vyc did. It's just common courtesy.
Sorry for the inconvenience and confusion I went to my messages and responded. I had to refund one member too. I Did not intentionally try to offend anyone. Apologies to all. I have never had this happen like this before, I must have listed the item at a reasonable price, when I am ready to sell I price it right.
Again apologies
