etiquette

[poopdaddy]

so someone had a item for sale or trade. the trade was "just whatever , let me know what you have".
so i sent them a list of a few things i have for trade. " this, that, the other thing, cash.. just let me know."
now it looks like he had another deal cooking... but how hard is it to respond to a pm?
why not take the time to say " i have another deal" or even "no thanks"..
i would have given him the cash for it... no response for 2 days, then marked it gone.....
why not just respond? this is more of a vent, but what do you guys think?
i ignored him just for the rudeness...

He ignored you first. He wins

I've put more people on ignore this last month than in the last 12 years.
It's heck to get old and cranky...

Common courtesy is now very uncommon.

Yes, he SHOULD respond with an answer either way. I do.

>>> Please PM me so I can ignore it.

Mine replied, he says to me “ the other offer is 1k. Whats your offer?” Dude i was so pissed i just laughed at his ass and wished him good luck on the site then on the ignore list he went, only one of 3 on it!!!

Yup. Guy has a rifle posted. PM my interest. No answer. Days later rifle still posted. Saw he was online. Looked at ad. Closed to replies. Newbie with no feedback.
Guess he just doesn't want to sell it to me. Oh well...

OP I had a similar situation years ago, sent the guy several potential trade items asked if any interested him (after we first communicated and agreee to put it on the table)

He finally responded in a beligerent manner like I had made him angry

Ignore list

I always respond even if it’s a quick “no thanks”.

I’d rather someone told me to piss off than ignore my PM’s. I guess he should start putting people on ignore that do that.

I give priority to whoever reaches out/messages me first.

BUT if other people PM me after I will let them know that it's currently pending and will let them know if it falls through. I follow up if it sells or if the buyer backed out.
