Internet Etiquette

[olddav]

To the OP, I accept your premises but teaching etiquette, manners or respect on the Internet is a lost cause.

Considering the number of times I've seen messages on a sale thread you haven't replied to my PM

And probably only 15 minutes have past since the PM was sent. They want it FIRST and screw everyone else.

And here is another fine example,
http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/wts-xp100-stocks.3923966/

If the OP'r didn't know how or couldn't post info (see his last post) on his OP, why wasn't that info conveyed when he made his OP??

Then the next in line would have to make the decision,
whether to buy a pig in a poke, or not, and should state his intentions etc.

IMHO, This type of action, needs to be addressed in the selling/buying section,
OK, off my soap box, now that I vented.

I think an "I'll take it" is much clearer than a "pm sent". I usually say "I'll take it. Pm sent". A "PM sent" can just be a bunch of questions. When the OP writes "The first I'll take it gets it", it saves confusion. The one that really tics me off is "Posted on other sites". I NEVER even consider buying those unless I feel like gambling.

Don, I'll join you in venting. This involves the Post Office and thier "2 day priority" sales. I just sent one to a seller and it took 6 days. My seller was wondering if I'm flaking on the deal. Luckily, he understood.

Vent over, Josh

The only reason I didn't say "I'll take it",
as I don't like a pig in a unknown poke,
if I say I'll it and then don't, it does not look good for me,
especially after he post that he will send photo's etc.

I'll double what you say about the post office,
been over 3 wks on receiving a disc I ordered,
Checked with the PO, they can't seem to find either.

Tia,
Don

SELLERS' DUTIES

4. All sellers must disclose if the item for sale is posted on other classifieds and state that the item is subject to prior sale.

If I get bopped on a deal, I usually say, OH WELL, and move on. Can't be a winner all the time. The sun will shine tomorrow and life will go on. Fretting over lost internet or ebay deals is bad for my health. YMMV.
