On the housing topic, I know of a situation where there was a house listed for about $525,000. The sellers received multiple offers, the highest of which was almost $100,000 over asking price, sight unseen, unconditional.
They decided not to take any offers and remove the house from the market instead. Without a doubt it will be relisted soon, and much higher.
In my opinion, asking prices should be binding. If someone unconditionally offers your ask with money on the table, you should be obligated to sell.
