I'd say go with the first to pm, give the buyer a reasonable time to pay and if the buyer doesn't pay as agreed upon then the 2nd buyer gets the nod. Another view is to sell the item(s) to whom ever you are most comfortable dealing with, the feedback section might come in handy. Just my $.02 whatever that's worth.

WTF IS GOING ON. i am trying to reply to these two gentlemen, but the replies goto my outbox, don't show up in sent messages, but the pms show up in the inbox message history with my communications to them. so i don't know if i am getting across to them, and now the second replier is offering to send money, and i am not sure my message to him to hold off is getting through.

I dont think the message will go out of your outbox untill they read it....so i think that if its in there they havent read it yet. but i could be wrong

that may be the case, seems everything is fine, just haven't had two buyers this close together, and didn't want anyone to be put out.

I always go by the first post, and I usually post that when I am selling something. I never go by who pays first, I always give the first post at least a day too pay. Sometimes that is a pain but I believe that it is the best way to go.

Yes, messages stay in your outbox until read by the person PM'd.
