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?

I'm not surprised -- there is no shortage of jerks in both the buyer & seller camps.

Actually, you might want to be grateful that the seller didn't respond. Just imagine what the situation would have like if the seller had taken your money and then not shipped or sent a unit with problems.

I much prefer simply moving on from a seller who never responded to my bid than having to get my money back from a dishonest transaction.
