this is what happen when you deal with childs. I've seen way more trading drama when I was on this yoyo forum.

The problem with Olds post is that it is focused on a very minor aspect of my post. Yes, I would appreciate a bump, but, clearly, it is not a requirement.
My OP was more focused on the loss of a sale because of a 15 or 45 minute "delay" in responding to a PM and whether this is happening more often than before.
Otherwise, my response to Olds' post was based entirely on his past history of calling me out and calling me names and my decision, in this case, to not stand for it anymore.

You are focusing on a very minor aspect of the OP. The bump thing was just a throw in.
I was more interested in input regarding the "delay" issue. From your response, it appears that you do not believe that this is happening more often now-a-days.

No, idiots like you did.
I meant it as a joke, but, since you brought it up, what do you think I did to cause all the problems in this country (besides start threads like this one)?

No, formally, by our established procedures, it does not. If you say yes to the price, you and the buyer still must agree on all the ancillary terms of the proposed transaction -- must you ship first or must he pay you first, etc.
Only when ALL this has been stipulated and he then says, "Ok, I'll take it." do you have a sale.
But then, as a lawyer, you already KNOW both the necessity and good sense of dotting every 'i' and crossing every 't' first, right?
Right?

How the hell am I supposed to know "the bump thing was just a throw in?"
Anyways, I see no evidence of an agreed deal in your post, so you have no reason to complain. If the other guy had said "We have a deal," then your rant would have some merit.
Sorry about before, ATOT's assholes are rubbing off on me.

You got me on that one, I guess. For future reference, where are the "established procedures" that state that the timing of shipping/paying is a required term to be determined before you have a contract of sale?
(Sometimes I wonder how I manage to be both too formal and not formal enough in my dealings at the same time.)

Mostly by looking at the context of the statement and the question I ask regarding the situation at the end of the OP.
It seems to me that if I say to someone, "Will you take $XXX" and the other person says "Yes.", we have a deal. I guess I am just funny that way.
There is a lot of that going around. I am not really sure what has gotten into the water, but I have been a big target in the last 24 hours - Is it "Pick on a Lawyer Week"? You will NEVER see me attack another member here except in self-defense.

Just wait until you get someone who buys and pays for said item, only to file a paypal dispute saying the wrong item was shipped before it even shipped, PM you 80 times in 3 hours (daytime working hours no less) asking if it shipped and requesting a refund, then turning around the same day posting a WTB thread looking for the same exact item you sold/unsold to said jerk in the first place.
Yeah - happened to me the other week.

(That being said, I certainly have had bigger problems than the in the OP, too.)

Yes.
Actually no... I believe I sold said item last night.
jeez. he was just saying how annoying it was. fair enough. as a seller you try to SELL your shit. someone show's interest, you respond promptly and the potential buyer backs out. i'd say that was annoying.
im not saying that it's a unique experience - it does seem like it's common the web. OP has dealt with it, as so many of you are quick to point out. this post isn't any different from another rant over something equally as annoying.
ill probably be selling some shit on the FS/T forum soon, so it's good to read this and be prepared for flaky buyers. im obviously new at this and never sold stuff before so im not familiar with the "norm" of internet used sales.

The "mores" or "established procedures" of any one culture or grouping or "sub-culture" are often not written down on a placard, but are easily learned and absorbed during one's active participation in that "group", aided solely by one's common sense and willingness and ability to learn and absorb from those around you.
When in Rome . . .
IOW, if you've been trading on our forums for even a little while, you dead nuts should have known this by now.
I already said all this to you in my pm sent more than an hour ago, to which you have not yet replied.
You would have expended less energy and created less drama by the simple and relatively easy act of learning this, especially aided by your law training, as opposed to not thinking it through and coming here and complaining about it.
Just saying.
