Annoyed

[Habs1901]

Without mentioning any users or names, I find it annoying when someone is interested in a card I have and asks me if I would be interested in trading or selling...Yet they stop responding when I tell them what I want in return or ask them to make me an offer. Thank god that not all the users here are like that.

Does it happen to anybody else?

BTW,the user is not from this site.

yes and it is annoying, had one guy actually confirm a payment and after a week i was like is there a reason for the delay you know i can understand if someone forgets or has to wait too payday just lmk, but this guy didnt even respond to a pm. and that was a football card just incase another guy thinks i mean him, that one was fine as nothing got confirmed.

is there a way to deal with people like this?

Ignore them and move on.

Ignore them and move on.

Gonna start making a list of users do stuff like that so just delete the pm right away lol

I know I probably done that a few times but I try not to do that anymore. I just ahte it when I do have something that person want and they have something I need but then they just disappear.
Sometimes it is hard to make a trade and I also hate it when they get a better offer and then you get ignore.

Happens a lot on another site im on, and I even track the message. It always says "the receipient has received and read this message". Brutal.

This happens to me often too, and I sometimes do it as well, but I always keep my message thread "alive" so I can return a message.

I do believe there are many people that can't put a great deal of time into the hobby. I'm not making excuses for them, but time can be an issue for lots of people. For myself I work from 8am-10:30pm most of the week except Wednesday's. I have a little time between 4:30 and 8:00. I try to keep up on all my communications, but once in a while accidentally delete a thread. If your real serious of the trade you were working on, you could give it few days, and re-respond if you kept your PM thread live. If you don't get a response from that. Then move on.

I know if I didn't work so much, and didn't have my kids on my off days, I more than likely would be trying to put about a couple hundred trades together a month. And I would do it!

Just keep in mind, one possibility is some people don't have all the time in the world, and do have lives outside the hobby. Otherwise there are tons of people eager to trade with on any given day.
