Responsa for Bava Kamma 102:4
איכא דאמרי אמר רב זביד הא והא רבי הך דקתני כולן חייבין שפיר הא דקתני אחרון חייב כגון שלא היה בו הבל לא למיתה ולא לנזקין ובא אחר והוסיף בו הבל בין למיתה בין לנזקין

Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A made an offer to buy manufactured articles from B at a certain price. B agreed to sell these at that price and delivered to A the key of the box in which the articles were placed. A now wants to withdraw his offer; may he still do so?
A. Accepting a key is not a formal act of possession, and A may, therefore, withdraw his offer. But, if after accepting the key of the box, A put the articles in the box and locked it, the sale is valid.
SOURCES: Pr. 835.
