I try to respond same day to offers. On work days it can take till the end of the day. I will say that the 48 hour lock really messes things up on a seller making a counteroffer. Puts that control in the potential Buyer's hands. On a different note, today I had an item that received 2 offers. The Audiogon system only sent one of those offers to my email. If I hadn't gone to My Page I wouldn't have known about the 2nd offer at all. I don't understand the inconsistency of the system. But this site is still the best one to have the best chance at moving your audio item.
Etiquite Regarding Response Times to Offers
I wonder if sellers realize that when someone makes an offer to them, if they wait the entire 48 hours to reply (or some significant portion thereof), they are holding up the buyer from using their resources elsewhere. I find that quite annoying. Either reply yes/no or counter, but don't hold a person up!
The 48-hour lock on agon creates a disincentive for a seller to make a counter offer too. If you make a counter, you have to wait 48 hours for a response by the potential buyer, therefore precluding you from taking other deals. The 48-hour "lock" is troublesome in more than one way. Agree?
