Maybe im just a dickhead( yeah jump on that dickheads😂) but is it not common courtesy to reply to someone that has sent you a message/PM/reply to an ad?  I try my absolute best to reply to all messages but seems like not everyone does and it leaves buyers/sellers hanging dry.... thoughts?  and yes im ready for the onslaught😷😷😷😷😷😷

Dont be afraid to comment we are all adults....we can see how many reads we got

It's common for people with other things going on in their lives to not get back to the forum sometimes for days. 

Imagine if the person you're referring to is a medical professional.  I could come up with a long list of things that, especially now, might keep someone occupied and unable to reply quickly.

I don't know if you're the buyer, the seller, or how much time has elapsed.

If you're the seller, then it's really up to you how long you're going to hold off on finding another buyer.  If you're the buyer, move it or lose it.  I'd say 24 hours is a reasonable time to wait before moving on UNLESS the other party has already made you aware of a situation that might create a delay -- and you agreed to be accommodating.

My 2 cents.

I would say it’s generally common courtesy in a reasonable amount of time. I was DM’ing someone to try to arrange a time to meet to give him something. Slow replies and I eventually was like “f it. I’m doing him a favor and he can’t even reply”.

I try my absolute best to reply to all messages

So does this mean you don't sometimes? Otherwise it'd say, "I always reply to messages."

Sometimes people have other stuff going on that they cant get back as soon as you'd like. I'm sure what you were inquiring about was more 'want' than 'need'. So if you dont get a response, forget it. No need yell in all caps...

I don't know man. This day and age when everyone practically has their phone attached to their hands besides when sleeping. it takes mins out of 24hrs to respond. People take their phones out when taking a sh*t for 30min. lots a time to respond/reply. Buyer or seller I set a general 24hr rule. I move on after that.

All very good points, and I think I was just surprised because I reached out to seller twice and seller continued to post until sold without responding.......and I didn't mean to yell in all CAPS😂, I have since changed to lower case letters🤙🤙

Then move on and don't buy anything from that seller in the future if you don't like the way they respond.  It's your money.

Also some people might prefer to not deal with someone with a limited history.

Maybe the seller had a lot of offers and couldn't manage to read and respond to the rest?

excellent point never considered that🤔

Still though, that should be conveyed to the buyer. I think what WTF?Shane posted is probably what happened. I think I put together which seller you're implying, and hes reputable. PMs must get buried all the time with him. And that's just it, could be a number of reasons.

Bottom line, you'll find what you want on here. It'll pop up again, and you going score!

Yup common consideration should go both ways. If we talking about the same guy he already has a history of not locking classifieds post. Either that or he never sold anything lol. Might be super busy and only responded off forum to the person he sold his stuff too. Maybe that's as far as his consideration for others may go?

Just curious Kawika,

Check the member in questions post history.
I’l bet 5 cents almost all his posts, if not all, are selling stuff. (Maybe buying also)
A few people use this forum just for buy and sell. Like a 2A craigslist.
They’re generally not as courteous from my experience.

P.S.
I am one who likes to sell to and buy from people with post history. And so far they have all been super cool.
(Except maybe two not-so-good experiences)

I myself have been primarily using this forum to buy/sell but after meeting a bunch of cool braddahs and reading the discussions, I realized im learning a lot at the same time.  As soon as I feel I can keep up with the conversations ill jump in.....maybe😂

 

99.9% of members who post here are super cool.
(I’m an Ass but the guys here let me know it all the time when we, on occasion, get together) 
Go to a shoot, get together or HDF free shoot if you ever get a chance.
Faces to names makes a huge difference.

SNIP

Jump on in. Variety of perspective always helps. And I bet you’re more up to speed than some who post quite often.
