Seller Silence

Count to 5. That is how long it would take for a seller to respond, even if the response is no. It may just be an indication of rudeness but it also may be a warning sign that dealing with this seller if something goes wrong would be very frustrating. That is why I think there should be a way to allow pre-sale comments.

You want to be able to leave poor feedback for someone you didn't transact with because they didn't answer your question? This isn't facebook where you engage furiously with people at will. P.S. You don't know that used gear is no longer covered by the OEM warranty and that the warranty only applied to the original owner and only if purchased via an authorized dealer?

I think there should be a way to allow pre-sale comments.

That would also work in reverse then, right, where the potential seller could leave feedback on you? Such as:

"Avoid this tire-kicking seller like the plague. I don't know who this guy is but he popped up out of nowhere and his first question was if there was a guarantee on used merchandise. What a laugh! Don't let him waste your time."

To be clear, as a buyer, I understand your disappointment. It's happened to me here. But I prefer to see a seller's non-response as just a good reason to avoid that seller. So I move on.

All of this is what makes dealing with The Music Room much more attractive.
