At what point do you just give up?

[g8rzfan]

As many of you know I have been selling a ton more cards on here lately. When someone pm's me asking for a price on "xxxxxx" cards I usually pull the cards to the side after giving a price so if the person wants them I have them aside so they don't get sold.

I have no issues with holding cards for people as many have done the same for me, but when I have a fair amount of cards held for a person with no response it is annoying. When you express interest and refuse to answer my pm's with a simple YES or NO is is irritating. And then ignoring me when I post in your thread........seriously.

Maybe I am overreacting, but I am sure I am not the only one that gets frustrated by this.

I love selling cards on here, but it seems to be getting ridiculous.

Time to fully instutite the IGNORE feature.

common courtesy goes a long way... and it's definitely lacking on here (i've been selling a lot lately too and i know exactly what you are talking about)

there's a good core group of members on here for buying and selling...and that's about it.

p.s. thanks for the gronk!

No problem.

Maybe since the summer is coming to an end and all the kiddies go back to school, things will improve.

Thats just something you have to just shrug off.

It happens to all of us.

You can't let it bother you.

This happens all the time Sarah. I had someone just a few days ago send me a pm out of the blue saying he had some things of players in my sig. I said cool send me scans and prices when you get a chance. Not a word since then. Why did they bother to send the original pm if they were not going to follow through?. I think the icing on the cake for me was the thread not too long ago where a member on here was defending someone who was posting in peoples sales threads saying ' I will take it ' but then never following through or sending payment. Some clown on here was saying it was not an offical deal because there was no contract or some nonsense like that. There are some members on here who ALWAYS keep ther word. Then there are some who have no pride, no integrity and no morals at all. I truly believe a person is only as good as there word. Its always the same people on here playing games and jerking people around. I avoid those people like the plague.

sorry to hear that, Sarah...glad I'm not one of them! :)

[g8rzfan]

I am just glad that I have dealt with the all the good people here. I am easy to deal with and I just gotta let it go and move on.

I'd rather be here than the other forums... :)!

I've sent people PM's trying to GIVE cards away(If I knew for sure that they would enjoy them) with no response at all. And then there's always the people that PM you 35 times about a 15 dollar deal and never come through. And then there's the people that pop up out of the blue, say they'll take it, and pay within minutes. Never can tell what you'll get...

I agree it's bad when people just bail and don't respond...sometimes threads get lost, but there's much less excuse not to simply say "no thanks" in a PM. Unfortunately it's just as bad doing business everywhere else...hell I have a card on e-bay, I sold it, buyer never paid, opened a case, closed it, got my fees back, relisted it, someone else won it...and now they haven't paid in a week either. The whole thing is starting to frost my cornflakes.

[ronlabo]

let me know what you've been holding sarah i may be interested, i think we've done about $600 in business this month alone, terrific member to deal with:)!

I find it's easiest to just give up immediately. Saves me a lot of time and effort.

Sometimes I give up before I even try. :eek:

Just make it a personal policy that prices you quote, or cards you say you will hold for a certain "trade" are good for X hours, or Z days?

I try hard to remember everything, but sometimes I forget. I'm old.

It is tough to remember everything. I'm starting to use Excel to track all of my buying and selling. I usually give people two days to respond because I know alot of people can;t be on here all the time.

If they ignored me in there thread that would be bad though.

It blows my mind when people just stop responding. There's literally no way to miss a PM between the e-mail alerts and the pop-up on screen when you are signed in. It's like you would literally have to see a PM and on purpose ignore it, what even makes somebody do that? Say "no thanks" it takes literally 5 seconds to send it!

To be fair, I turned the e-mail and pop-up notifications off and I still respond fairly quick lol

It literally takes 60 seconds to make payments as well, yet people take days upon days sometimes. If you have time to surf the net looking for cards to buy, then you have time to send payment.
