From a Newbie - How long should I wait?

Please, a little guidance on proper etiquette since I am brand new to Audiogon and to buying in the classifieds. (vs. ebay auctions)

I've recently (2 days ago) submitted an offer to purchase some speaker cables. I have not had any response yet from the seller. Does anyone have any guidelines on how long is appropriate to wait before trying to buy elsewhere.

Would it be better to simply send another note retracting the offer? (Assuming that I have found something equivalent elsewhere.)

I know that others also have lives and don't necessarily sit around their computers all day checking their email.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for all the responses (including the one sent privately to me).

As it turns out, the seller contacted me this morning and we have agreed on the sale. I'm glad that I waited.

I know that some of us (including me) have to travel for our jobs and that we can't always respond immediately. With the internet and email, I've pretty much gotten accustomed to immediate information.

Sometimes I think that I just need to sit back, relax, enjoy the music, and say "its just a set of cables"; tomorrow will still be OK.

Thanks again.
