How do you determine the amount of the offer by only "PM sent"? Seriously, please explain. |

Because I would also assume someone willing to pay the asking price would post I'll take it, not pm sent.

I get your point, you're not getting mine. I believe you're whole a lot smarter than Ben, so let's try this again. My original point was this. We were talking about BST interference and I said "Nice card" is no more interference than "PM sent." If one wants to inquire about a card, send a PM. Is there really a need to announce that you're sending the PM (I'm not talking about the cases where the poster has sent multiple PMs that weren't responded to)??? Why is "Nice card" interference but "PM sent" (when the purpose of the PM isn't to purchase the card) is not interference? I expect Ben not got get that, but surely you do????

If a well respected member of this forum makes a positive comment on an item I have for sale I am thrilled. It is somewhat akin to a respected endorsement. I will take those any time I can get them.
Also I have had enough instances, both as a buyer and a seller, where "PM sent" being posted didn't mean squat. Finally, sometimes people will post a "PM sent" to get a time stamp in showing when the PM with "I'll take it" was made in case there are multiple people who might say the same thing. The "PM sent" post might make the difference in such a case. Tom C |

Dont forget to add it's coming from a third party, not interested in buying the card.

FWIW I do get frustrated when prices are removed once sold. I too come here for education, and to launch the joke. I use the eBay "Sold Items" option quite often. I missed an opportunity to purchase a card on BST a few weeks ago. I made the comment about wondering the price, and the seller (I won't out him) sent me a PM with the sell prices. I didn't share it, but I learned something... and also kicked myself for missing the opportunity to purchase a card at a price I would have been happy with.

Some sellers are lazy but if i see a pm sent, and a few days pass i assume it wasnt for asking price otherwise 'sold' would be on there. I also assume maybe they sent a pm but there was no answer so they posted it on the forum to tell the seller they tried to reach them. Maybe they wanted more photos who knows... But yeah, its just assumptions, maybe it did sell. I wouldn't actually know anything.

It seems logical that an offer of asking price would be "I'll take it." PM sent might mean registering interest, asking for more detail, or making an offer under asking. All of those are reasonable assumptions, especially the one about an offer under asking. Am I to assume a PM'd offer at or over asking?
Then to clear matters up, a seller on the ball usually comments, "PMs replied to" to make clear the item is still for sale. |
