Who has priority in buying an advertised item
Question
Shalom.
A vacuum cleaner was advertised to be given away. Two people contacted the owner: the first wanted to think about it, and the second wanted to take it immediately. Afterwards, the first came back and wanted to take it. Who has priority?
Answer
Shalom.
Priority is given to the one who gave a final affirmative answer first, not to the one who contacted first.
