How many of you respond to PM's when someone is interested in your army, even if you aren't interested in what they are currently offering? There's this one guy I've been trying to get in contact with. I've sent him a dozen PM's ranging from a trade 33% in his favor, to hey, is that army still available, to hey, it'd be nice to hear back from you one way or the other, to what are you looking to get for that army? And I haven't received a single response. It's frustrating.

To me, that's a warning to not trade/deal with the guy.

I try to respond to all pm's, even if it's only to say, sorry they're sold/traded/gone.

i know exactly what you're talking about siege and you're right, it is frustrating and annoying.
i respond to all PMs one way or another.

Has he read them? if Yes I'd go with Kturock, if No then maybe a little more patience is in order Are these messages spread out over a few days, a week, a month?

Usually when I PM someone twice and they haven't responded (after reading it) I know they are not interested and just being a jerk not replying and I move on, if they reply like a week later I tell them "sorry but you read both my messages and never responded for a week, I'm no longer interested".

If your really really really wanting the army, I guess keep PMing lol

They've been spread out over a couple of days, and read.

Then he's not interested in your offer and being a jerk, or is looking for a better offer and being a jerk.

Bottom line, he's being a jerk now. What happens if you buy or trade with him and you have to wait anf wait and wait for him to ship his end and doesn't repond?
You've been warned by his actions. I say quit while you're ahead.

I mostly agree. I'd say he's being RUDE or DISCOURTEOUS, but not a JERK. It's a small difference, but it's a difference. I mean, IF (and I don't know, so this is all hypothetical) he posted that his wants were "X" and you're trying to talk him into "Y" by offering an incredible deal, maybe *HE* is annoyed with the "jerks" who keep PMing him with offers of things not on his Wants List and is fed up with the constant "No, thanks" replies he's had to give?

Just food for thought.

I'm sorry, this is kinda off topic, but how can you tell if your pm's have been read?

If it is in your outbox folder it is not read, if it is in your sent folder it has been read. I feel this question is asked like once a week.

Normally will respond a small "no thanks"
