Replies to museum members PMs

[apes3978]

I'm not sure if this is the place to place this question or not, so moderators, feel free to move it if you think it belongs in a different catagory.

I just wanted to vent at the amount of people that don't have the decency to ever reply to the PM(s) you may send them. It could be offering to sell them something, or you may be PMing them about an item they're selling, and in either case you get nothing at all. Not a "No thanks, I'm not interested/I no longer need that item, thank you." or "Sorry, that item has been sold", etc.

How do you other people feel about the lack of returned PMs? Personally, it pi**es me off. And, I just get the feeling that a lot of those same people that do not reply to PMs have hissy fits when their's aren't replied to.

Thoughts? Comments?

I honestly don't have that problem,they always answer mine and I always answer theirs

I have never seen this problem either. I have seen where it took a few days for them to get back with me, but they may not be "computer potatos" like some of us.

I regret to hear of your bad experiences. I have yet to have that problem myself so far with anyone here. IF anyone out there has happened to ever send me a PM and for whatever reasons you did not receive a reply from me the chances are great that I never received your original message to begin with. I make it a point to reply to ALL of my PM's. I would not be a very happy camper to not receive a reply from someone that I PM'd. I always like to treat people the way that I like to be treated. I would atleast give a second chance PM in the event the first one never made it. If one does not receive a timely answer from your PM after the second attempt then the chances are great that perhaps the member is trying to avoid you for whatever reasonings. Not a good way to go about IMO. So far I have received prompt friendy replies from everyone I have sent PM's to here at The Museum. Hopefully with you bringing this issue to light perhaps your message will be well received and understood by those that do not reply to you if that happens to be the case.

Well..., If someone doesn't want to repliy back to you,.. that means the Conversation is done, & they want nothing more to do with you. ... At least thats what I always think when it's happened to me.... but sometimes it's like 4 days before you get a repliy,... & then with me,.. I get confused to what we were even talking about.

Most people i've PM'ed answer me back pretty quickly ......

I also make an effort to answer all replies with the same speediness ...

If someone doesn't answer me, I put them on my own personal SCHIT-LIST.

I just don't PM or talk to them anymore.

SteveMoore & I shared Some Pm's a few weeks Back,.. the time between each pm was like 3 days. & That was on Both ends.. Sometimes with me,.. I like to make sure I try to get my Wording right,.. or depending on what it is,.. I'd like to give it some thought before I respond to the Topic. If I ever Offended anyone,.. I am sorry.. I didn't mean too.

If I ever Offended anyone,.. .. I DID mean too.

I have had a couple that never answered me. I just took it as a 'they weren't interested', but I would still have appreciated a "No, I'm not interested" or "Leave me alone, freak!!" or "Bugger off, yank!". With no reply, I am left wondering if they didn't get it or something. Most people get back pretty quickly though.

I like to let my PMs ferment so they have a little kick before I send them out

wow, someone is a bit sensitive. Move on to someone else to PM if you don't get a response. Iv'e had it happen to me a few times and It didn't ruin my day.

Wouldn't that make it PMSensitive...sorry didn't mean to go there, sometimes my brain has a mind of it's own...

^^^ Aahhh Man,.. thats messed up.

[fallensaviour]

One or two times that has happened no big deal 98% of the time everybody replies.I like to think I have replied to everybody else as well.If not sorry.
I have also had people send e-mails regarding purchasing of figures and then set a price and date then never here from them again,??? Does that mean you still want the figure or not???
Now that P!$$3$ me off!!! Have the balls to just say sorry I changed my mind.Or my wife won't let me buy it...
