Welcome to real World David.
My experience is similar to yours. I am not a power seller/buyer and a number of my transactions is very limited due to the fact that I only get what I want, and what I need at the moment.
On the other hand, I understand someones reservations to a potential buyer with no or very small feedback but it is no excuse for ignorance.
I always try to reply no matter how busy I am. It cannot hurt.
Now someone with 300 or more feedbacks is in it for the money and I don't care what they might say.
Another observation - guys with 100 or more feel that they are already accomplished and don't remember that day when they started. I just hope they personal life is not a resemblance of this practice.
Beside these... sad examples, there are a really cool guys out there that I am sure you will eventually meet.
