I was under the impression that according to A-gon rules if a seller does not respond within 24 hours then an offer "expires" and the potential purchaser is not "obligated" to follow through with the offer. Of course in practice, I usually give it a few days because most others, like me, live fairly busy lives.
From a Newbie - How long should I wait?
Please, a little guidance on proper etiquette since I am brand new to Audiogon and to buying in the classifieds. (vs. ebay auctions)
I've recently (2 days ago) submitted an offer to purchase some speaker cables. I have not had any response yet from the seller. Does anyone have any guidelines on how long is appropriate to wait before trying to buy elsewhere.
Would it be better to simply send another note retracting the offer? (Assuming that I have found something equivalent elsewhere.)
I know that others also have lives and don't necessarily sit around their computers all day checking their email.
Thanks,
Chris
