Jvia, my experiences are not unique.
And I can assure you we had not "made a deal", money was not even discussed. Although I like the way you expanded that into a nice skit. We went from "Maybe he thought he had made a deal with you " to "once you broke the deal with the guy." Guiltier by the minute. I thank you for your vote on my integrity.
And some times, I have sent follow up emails, which have also been ignored.
Email is, for the most part, very reliable.
I do not accept the 'blame the computer' thesis, especially if there is more than one email sent or if the item turns out 'sold' the next day.
I have had situations were people could not answer in a timely fashion, but they did eventually answer.
And no, I do not expect anyone to be a cyborg with an email implant, nor do I expect an answer within minutes or even days, but people do use a computer to get to this site. I would expect them to use the computer at least once a week.
Again, 95% of the time, responces are prompt and polite even when the item has already been sold. As I've said before, a little common courtesy goes a long way.
