String-a-longs

I was raised to be respectful of others and can't understand why people will start dialog to a classified asking question after question then stringing you along with an I'm very interested then nothing. Silence. Crickets...
Not even an "I've changed my mind"

Rant over.

I've noticed this myself. Do you contact them or not? What say you members on the proper response?

Got a PM saying I want buy it ,respond OK, then absolutely nothing, getting to be the norm.

I had one in the middle of a trade/buy working out the details via PM's, when no response for two days, then I saw he sold the weapon, but still never responded to me. He has a right to sell to whom ever he wishes, I have a right to put him on my Ignore list. Most on here are honorable, but it only takes a couple to leave a bad taste.. But I'm slowly wearing out the ignore button

 

[TAK]

Agreed. Common courtesy is definitely lacking with some members and warrants addition to the ignore list.

 

[Poppa Mike]

I wouldn't PM someone unless I was really interested, but even if I changed my mind.I would let them know. As you say, just common courtesy.

OTOH- You you respond with one word answers like, "yes", or "OK", etc. that sets a red flag off to the buyers that either; you're a dick and they don't want to deal with you. or, you're an antisocial creep and they don't want to deal with you.

YMMV.

Been noticing this a lot lately. Can't stand that ****. It's about respect and being a man of ur word. In my most recent, had an "I'll take it, text or call". We text. Then he can't make the first agreed time and place. I say, I'm available any day after 4 and all day on weekends, when is good for u? NOTHING.

Yep...If I'm buying, I tend to force more of a response from those type replies.

Didn't know there was a minimum number of words required to respond to a pm,thought only my wife could interpret a simple yes or no answer into an offensive response.
