No way can we teach everybody common courtesy. Just isn't going to happen. I responded to someone's 'wanted' ad. He had the price he was willing to pay. / I had the product. Next to brand new w/box and manual,offered to throw in a freebe cable and pay the shipping in my response.In his responce to me, I get 5 dumb questions on how it works and with what etc. like he wanted a review.Turns out he read a review I hadn't. Go figure??? Part of doing buisness I guess.
Sellers Obligation To Respond
For the second time in a week, I have had sellers not respond to my offers. Listing items for sale is a right that comes with obligations. By the very nature of this forum, and others, there will be more lookers than buyers. That's how it is in the real world as well. At a minimum sellers need to respond to e-mail inquiries. They don't need to answerer at length. But common courtesy dictates that, at a minimum, an acknowledgement of some kind be provided; a "yes", "no", "sold”,” if after I answer all your questions, are you prepared to buy". This is an e-mail based forum, so responding in e-mail is the correct method. If people are not prepared to respond to e-mails (buyers too) don't use this forum. Harsh but frustrating.
