[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3040115, member: 22377"]This has been on my mind for a while and I wanted to start a thread to see what others had experienced. Has anyone (especially those that are selling something) seen an increase in people contacting them (whether via ebay, here on CoinTalk, or other forums) and then disappearing? For example, I have had several people ask to buy a coin and then never reply after the initial message. Or someone asks for more photos and then they disappear. What is the point behind asking and then not replying? Are these mostly those that want something for half of market prices and when they don't hear that number they lose interest? I know people don't always agree on prices, but why not just reply with a simple "No, thank you" or "Thanks, but I can't spend that much now" instead of not replying at all? Another thing that I wonder about is, if a price is listed, why do some ask what is your best price instead of making their own offer? And one final question: how would you reply to someone using being a dealer as part of their negotiation tactic? For example, I'm asking $X and someone says "can you do $X-Y because I'm a dealer that needs to resell"? Does that change anything for you as the seller?[/QUOTE]
