Both Viridian and Swampwalker have good comments / suggestions. I would drop the seller an email and tell them that you are no longer interested or give them a specific deadline to respond back to your offer ( Friday @ 5 PM CST cut-off time, etc... ). If still interested, you might ask if the cables are still available as some sellers simply don't respond to inquiries after they've sold the merchandise, nor do they update their ads.
As to being a newcomer to Audiogon, i hope that you don't think that all transactions go like this one. Most every transaction that i've been involved in has been nothing less than enjoyable and has given me a chance to talk with / get to know a lot of different people from all walks of life. Needless to say, it's been a blast. Hopefully, you'll have the same thoughts and feelings in the long run : ) Sean
