Who to sell to?

Selling my old bike. Person 1 sends an email reply to my ad, and then we agree on a price and I ask when they'd like to pick it up. No response. Then person 2 emails me, agrees on price and schedules to pick it up on Tuesday morning. Then, Person 1 finally responds (a whole day later) asking to pick it up tomorrow. Who do I sell to? And what do I tell the other person?

Go with person 1 and if they don't show, sell to person 2.

@twiigss if I go with person 1 and they buy, what do I tell person 2? That I sold to someone else? Idk why but I'd kinda feel guilty because they were ready to buy but just wouldn't be around tomorrow. But then at the same time person 1 responded first

@somedude15 You tell person 2, hey I made a mistake. I was in touch with a person before you, but they didn't immediately respond to me, so I thought they lost interest. They have since gotten back to me, so I need to apologize about that, I may not be able to sell to you. Since that person responded to me first, I still feel obligated to sell to them first. If the person doesn't show up however, then I will sell to you.
