Many times I have answered ads which I was interested in only to be told the item was sold. After waiting and rechecking the ad I'd find no indication of item being sold or sale pending. Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines for the posting of ads?
Got one for you. A seller had a great price. I offered to pay asking/shipping/Paypal. 2 days go by no response. I emailed once again,--No response. 3/4 weeks later Same add, same seller; product is now 40 bucks cheaper. I had already bought from someone else. I emailed,telling about being ignored.-- Said he was just testing the waters; gave me his home phone #. I could tell he was desperate this time. emailed again;another 40 drop in price. I ignored him this time.(Twice)
Some people leave the ad running until they receive the cash from the "committed" buyer. It's all too common for people to reneg, deleting the ad means having to re-post again when the orginal buyer backs out. Altering the ad so it sez "sale pending" is an eyesore and for some very strange reason, bugs me. Personally, I delete my ads and risk having to re-post them if necessary.
