Selling a car - First come first serve, or best offer?

I've recently been inundated with responses to my car for sale, which I've apparently prices too low. The first person to respond to my ad has offered to bring cash and take as is, but I've since had an offer well above my asking price. I feel obligated to take my asking price from the first person, but I am in no position to turn down extra funds. What would be reasonable in this situation?

    Sell it to who ever you decide it is your car and you are making the cash man not them. I sold a motorcycle like that I had it up for sale for 500 bucks, and one of the guys I worked with was going to give me the cash later that day for it, but later that day a lady came by and saw it was for sale, I told her I had a guy offer me 500 for it and she said I will give you 700 if you sell it to me, well sold it to here right then and there without a second thought, and told the first guy too bad you missed out and I got more for it than you offered. The profits will be yours sell it to the highest bidder and don't worry about the rest.

    In other words sell it to the one whom will pay the most!

    What's the question? A lot of people would like a car that still runs for $500, but you will have to realize that most of these people DO NOT know what else could be wrong with it, since the head gasket is leaking. A lot of people think that just putting in a head gasket will fix the problem. They are not mechanics, but want-to-be mechanics.

    Hey, its a buyer and sellers market. Whoever will shell out the most cash is a good deal on your part. Plus if they are willing to pay it why not let them.

    Highest bidder should get it.
