Why do people post on the Trap Shed that they are looking to buy something and then not check their PMs to see if they have any offers. Seems a bit rude.

If they have found what they are looking for and are swamped with messages, at least comment on your original post that you’ve found the item.

It is common courtesy- in my opinion.

I agree. It wasn'tthis furom but there used to be one attached to an online salebarn type website where you could auction off a specific breed of cattle. They had both a good feed back and a bad feedback thread. If someone posted bad feed back (such as you had wrote them a hot check you simply photographed the check that they had cashed uploaded it with some prrsonal info redacted and they had egg on their face and the threat of a ban from the auction site.

I wish I was smart enough to engineer it but a mechanism that would not let you post an add if your pms were full would make me happy.

Ok tell the truth is anybody gonna read all that?

I agree , it’s only common courtesy to reply..

I agree also. Communication helps everyone.

Happened to me a while back. Posters mail box was full so I posted a reply on here.

Next day everything disappeared. Never to be seen again.???

Just had that happen to me.

Most want ads should say looking for free or dirt cheap. Of course, no begging allowed on here so they can't openly say it.

Courtesy mostly disappeared long ago

If you send a pm to someone on the trap shed who has an ad and they don't answer, let me know who it is and I'll remove their ad and posting privileges on the trap shed.

How long should one wait for a reply from someone who says they want to purchase your items then never gets back to you. 2 days, 4 days, a week??

I always think 3 day max duck45
