A certain user pmed me interested in some of my stuff and asked for a list. I gave it too him. Then I waited, and waited, and waited. He last contacted me on January 20th, and there was no sort of agreement or close of the deal AT ALL. Since then I have pmed him four times but he has not replied. He has read them but he wont reply. It's been a month since his last response. What should I do now?

that's not really a backout.. now, if he agreed to send you something and didn't.. then it's a backout.
if you sent something and then he didn't, that's a bad trader.

That's not a backout, so you've got nothing.

For it to be a backout, you *both* need to have agreed on the deal, and that never happened.

If you had agreed, then I'd wait a week.

In before lock!

(Actually, you should have posted this in the questions area)

Moved from "Backouts" forum to "Need Help."

Your question has been answered. It's not a backout.

If you're constantly PMing him, you're being a pest and likely to end up on his "Do Not Trade" list.
