You can do what you want, but IMHO, that is kind of a silly approach. 1st, I don't know where everyone gets the idea that all e mail reach their PROPER final destination. You dont know if he accidently deleted before read, whether it got misrouted, still out there, etc. Their is a company in MA that I get all their inter office memo's, details,updates,whatever, I notice that my email address is never in their stream of recipients. I have recieved on more than one occasion email that is weeks old, but is dated and tagged properly. I think too many out there think the internet is infallible, but its still not face to face, nor is it telephone. This one guy your talking about, kinda hard to believe that if he has that kind of feedback rep
that he just went flake.Maybe he thought he had made a deal with you and you backed out. That might just be his perception, and there would be two perceptions of this correspoindence, yours and his. No, I don't like being not answered, e mail or otherwise, but an example of that happened this week with me. I leave town, kind of an emergency trip and I think I am not going to need my laptop. I sold a guy a piece, emailed him that I got his funds, emailed him that I shipped. he wrote me one or two more emails, but it was not convenient for me to answer him quickly, especially when I knew he would have them item in the next two days. He writes selling site complaining that I would not respond to emails, but he has the goods and they are fine. Are we supposed to be hooked to our email accounts all the time? If you or anyone deem something to be that important, use the phone. I list mine everytime I sell, inviting people to call or write. I send it everytime I try to buy, because I would rather hear the person I am dealing with. I think once you broke the deal with the guy, he decided maybe your were just wanting to e talk, not purchase, nothing wrong with that, but maybe thats not what he wanted.
I guess my point is, you or anyone want to do all your correspondence on the net, fine. But I think you expecting a little to much when you think that all email correspondence is going to be quickly and promptly answered. To many things can and do go wrong, and if you are really trying to do a deal that amounts to over $100 and is something you really want, use the phone.
