Interested in a trade/purchase no response

Post by jrokowski »

I’ve contacted somebody on BT for interest in a trade/purchase. I sent x2 messages. I simply requested pictures and asked 1 simple question. He/she has not replied. I don’t know if I am just being paranoid or maybe he/she is not on the level.

What does this tell you?

1. He/she has gotten rid of the pieces (they are still listed)
2. He/she has no camera
3. He/she is not legitimate
4. I am a A-hole


What do you think and has this kind of behavior happen to you?

If I didn't have the Eric lovefest going on in my signature, this would be so there.

That being said, have they actually signed in and looked at the messages (still in your out box maybe)??

If someone does not reply to a PM of mine but I know they have seen it, I send them a message similar to the following...
Hi there,

Noticed that you saw my message and was wondering if you gave it any thought. Let me know either way please.

Thanks!
oAF
No reply to that one and I move on. Not worth waiting too long.

That is good one, but A simple reach around would have worked.


The he/she in question was is a very new trader, like with 2 trades and by the same person. I guess I shouldn't expect much. Course thats just on Bartertown.

Could be 1-3.
Hard to say.
As oaf says, though... Could just be that they haven't seen it yet.

Aww.
I don't know if I should be flattered or worried for your sanity. LOL
Let me see if this helps:

Who cares about apathy?

Lower rating? You ship first.

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.


I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Want my help with a BTR or backout? All messages sent/posted should be in CHRONOLOGICAL order. Otherwise, I just won't read it.
