Sometimes if does get annoying when you don't get a friendly message back.

I'm like Mike, I usually cut off communication altogether as well.

At least twice, I've had PMs that didn't receive a reply. It's annoying when you're responding to someone's post for trades then they don't reply. Oh well, I just move on!

Gee I hope I haven't done that to anyone---ignore their PMs...if I have done that, it was not intentional and I apologize.

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...

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.

See, now these are the type of things I'm talking about.

I never said everyone "had to" reply, but if you go out of your way to PM them and say, "I seen your post in MARKETPLACE and I have the item you're looking for" or if they keep bumping their thread up offering something for sale and you ask them if the item they offered in their thread is still available, don't you think that should be responded to?

No, I don't expect a reply the same day, or even two or three days after that. But still, some form of reply would be nice. It'd be like if you're selling on eBay and your customer never gets back to you, you have to admit that'd be quite annoying if they decided they just didn't want to pay you so they just don't bother with you.

And to you Mr. Txteach, no, no one is being "sensitive". Someone is saying that good manners regarding sincere PMs should be answered. Apparently you don't give a rat's a** and that's fine. But let me ask you this: Wouldn't you tell your students that that's the correct thing to do? Don't you instill in them "treat others as you want to be treated", or does that only apply when it's something that you find "important? I suppose telling them jokes is better than teaching them social skills that will do them a lot better later on in their lives.

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.

Now that you mention it, I never got a response about the dog figure I took the time to take a pic of and pm it to you. I thought it might make a nice dog for your Lobo figure.

I always reply to a PM I get and I usually get a reply back too. In all those years maybe 2 or 3 PM's were left unanswered

[Mikey]

I think the only PM's I don't answer --- are sometimes from newbee's asking for cards.

I admit, to being guilty of that

[SUP-Ronin]

Actually, Txteach didn't return a PM I sent about the newer SW figures he was looking for, so I figured he took a look and didn't need/want any of them. No biggy!! "This is not meant as a jab."

Update on POF Star wars figures: Since they aren't bringing any money on ebay these days, and nobody seems to want them, I will take 'em out back and practice my skills from 200 yards with an AK-74. Yes, 74 not 47.

[Marvelmania]

I always reply an answer of some sort. Recently I had that happen to me. I was wanting to buy a figure and never heard back form the guy. So I'm like Mike and ignore him from now on.

[mitchedwards]

If they are new, they may not know how the PMs work. That large flashing yellow square may have them baffled.
Their VCRs may be flashing 12:00 as well

Speaking of PM's ......
One thing I don't like about the new forum set-up.......
If I wanna send someone a PM, I have to click on their avatar, then send them a PM through their profile.
The old forum had a PM option right on their post.

PM's

I am just a new guy here so maybe I havent the right for my $.02 but here goes:
I have found that in the short time I have been here, ALL members that I have come in contact with, either by posting or PM's have been nothing but OUT-frikkin'-standing!!! I am a member of several other different genre/collecting boards and I have enjoyed this one the most. I understand that "most" of us do other things and dont have the time for an instant answer but 100% of my PM's have been answered. Thanks to all for the fellowship I have enjoyed here so far. OK, my two cents..........

[txteach]

Megoronin, I returned all pms sent to me. I think as a new guy you better stop with the accusations. Maybe the message didn't get through, I don't know. You ever consider sending a second message? Do me a favor Mr. Ronin, don't ever pm me again, that should solve your problem with me.

[SUP-Ronin]

I was trying to illustrate that it didn't matter to me if someone doesn't return a PM. As I said in the post it is "No Biggy". I didn't send a second PM because I didn't want to bother you, and considered that being courteous. I never accused you of anything. And cut the new guy crap. Just cause someone doesn't respond to every single thread doesn't mean their ignorant. Sorry I don't have the astounding 2,931 posts of experience you have. I wasn't trying to insult your royal highness. Don't worry, consider yourself ignored, coach. And please ignore me, if you haven't already.

[txteach]

Ouch, that hurt, some new guy I don't care about ignoring me. If it's "no biggie" don't mention me not replying to your post. You called me out. It's sensitive types like you that get on my nerves. If someone doesn't answer you, move on. Don't create a whole thread for it. Don't worry, I won't ignore you because I never considered you to start.
