If you solicit offers, shouldn't you respond?


I recently made a very reasonable offer on an item that was being sold on a strictly "make an offer" basis (there was no option to buy the unit at the asking price, just "make an offer". So I offered the asking price less shipping).

The seller never responded, so I sent a PM. No response to that either. My offer has expired with no word from the seller.

Isn't there, simply as a matter of courtesy and responsible behavior, an obligation to respond to reasonable offers if you're soliciting them?

Get used to it.
This is the SOP of some sellers it seems.
It happens to me all the time, and I just went through this too when I was looking for a new preamp a month or so ago.
(But I agree it is very frustrating and not a very good way to deal with people.)
