How long of a wait


I sent an e-mail to someone at 0803 today saying that I'd like to buy an item 'for sale'. I didn't ask them to budge on the price and I left my cell number. And I haven't heard from or gotten an e-mail.

How long do you guys/gals think is long enough before you just send an e-mail saying thanks, but, no thanks.

Thanks

Patience, young Jedi! Generally one expects quick response, but it does happen that the ridiculous happens. About a month ago I was on a business trip and, on the way home, I had in succession a cancelled flight, a long-delayed flight to a different airport in which we missed the noise curfew and went to YET ANOTHER airport, followed by a cancelled flight and finally the flight home. All told it took 25 hours to get from the Los Angeles area to the Washington DC area. It was around 40 hours between email checks. Had you sent ME an email, I might not have gotten back to you within two and a half days.

Or I might have been overseas, where connections are often very, very hit-or-miss.
