I want $100.00 for it." Jim speaks up immediately and says "I'll take it." Bill says "OK, Jim, you sust bought an engine." But then Chris shouts out "I'll give you $110.00 for it."

Now Bill has a dilemma. His wife gave him strict orders to sell that engine and bring her the money because she wants a new pair of shoes, so he ain't going home with that engine. He is going to sell it to somebody, today, right now, because he knows what his foreseeable future holds if he doesn't. (Also, what it doesn't include) His dilemma is now: who gets it? Jim or Chris? He just made an offer which was accepted and then a higher offer was made. But he could sure use the extra $10.00. So, what to do, what to do?
