If I have not heard from a buyer and wish to look elsewhere I always retract the offer. An offer is only good as long as it is on the table. I have had buyers for products that I was selling retract offers after five minutes. At least they took the time to imform me.
From a Newbie - How long should I wait?
Please, a little guidance on proper etiquette since I am brand new to Audiogon and to buying in the classifieds. (vs. ebay auctions)
I've recently (2 days ago) submitted an offer to purchase some speaker cables. I have not had any response yet from the seller. Does anyone have any guidelines on how long is appropriate to wait before trying to buy elsewhere.
Would it be better to simply send another note retracting the offer? (Assuming that I have found something equivalent elsewhere.)
I know that others also have lives and don't necessarily sit around their computers all day checking their email.
Thanks,
Chris
