The waiting period causes problems on both ends. As a seller I have lost sales waiting for a buyer to respond to a counter offer, and as a buyer I have missed out on buying other gear while waiting for a seller to respond to an offer. And some members never respond, instead letting offers expire. I try to respond to offers and counter offers immediately.
Bidding Frustration
This past weekend I placed a bid on an integrated amp and the seller countered. My understanding is the counter was to be open to acceptance or rejection for 48 hours. I gave it some thought and about half a day after the counter was prepared to accept it but it was gone as was the listing. I e mailed audio gin and the answer I received was yes a counter is good for 48 hours unless the seller pulls the listing. Logic indicates that while the counter was pending the seller received another offer he accepted and pulled the ad. My opinion is not cool. Thoughts?
