Common Courtesy- Try it in 2010!

Post by starslayer »

Ive been noticing ALOT of people do not reply to PM's. A simple "No thanks." or "Not interested." would be fine. They ask questions about an item, I take my time to check,I give them an answer- no reply. I ask about an item- no reply. Its mostly newer members- but not all.
So im starting a "D-Bag" list for 2010. People who dont reply get added to my personal "do not trade"list.

I find this annoying as well.
I would rather folks not respond at all if they are going to take up some of my time without a followup response.

Maybe the new friend/foe option will work to weed out the D-bags. :-D

On the other hand...

I post very explicitly that i am not looking to part out or sell items and you still have people sending messages like.

I will take x and y.
How much for x and y or the lot?


Needless to say i do not respond in cases like this.

Your right on target, Recently I sent a pm to someone about something they were looking for with an offer. They turned it down so I replied with make me an offer that would work for you. They never replied. Must not have wanted it that badly.

If it is a deal that I'd really like to make and I don't get a response, I'll got to my sent message hit "Quote", type Awaiting Reply beneath the quoted message, and send it again.

Sometimes the original gets deleted accidently and they apologize, other times they reply after the 4th or 5th message that I send.
