If I was Deman, I would be playing "first come first serve".
If I was in a position to buy I would be knocking on his door right now.
There was a 77 SRX here in town with a spare 8HO engine. Was for sale. I held back from pursuing because a guy I know said he was going to buy it. He never did. Dragged his feet. Owner got tired of waiting and it got sold to a dealer for $500.
I will kick my ass until the day I die for holding back.
Never again. First come first serve. This guy I know cost me a dream because I didn't want to be aggressive and step on his toes. I know him but he is not a close friend. He probably would have went around me to get it if the roles were reversed. He has a rep for such things. I don't. I wish now I had a rep and a 77 SRX.

PS. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation. This is a true statement. However, without execution you will never have luck. One must act when opportunity is presented.
