I would suggest a sealed bid.
1) Everyone who wants it sends in a bid.
2) Award to the highest bidder, or (ebay fashion) 1 dollar more
than the second highest bidder.
Alternately, a two stage sealed bid:
1) Everyone who wants it sends in a bid.
2) All non-high bidders have the option of raising their bid
above the winning bid.
3) The the high bidder from (1) has the option of paying 1 dollar
more than the highest second round bid.

PS I agree with the not first responder... I can only read the 100+
emails at night, so I miss all the noon offers :(

I do not want to give it to the first responder because I read the digest
version so I never get to be the first responder.
