When someone doesn't respond to my PM, I simply don't PM them anymore.  Unless it's someone I know, in which case I assume they somehow missed it and I usually follow up with a second PM.  Why you wouldn't post that items are sold is beyond me.  I stick to my rule no matter how tempting the offer because it says the seller is someone who really doesn't give a crap about anyone but themselves.

Not for nothing...but I posted all of my Opus for sale on several boards just the other night. I was so inundated with PM's and working out details with the first responders that I wasn't able to get back to most interested parties until everything was already gone. All I could do is cross off items as the transactions were finalized.
I saw that thread yesterday and my first thought was, "Wow...this guy must be getting slammed after 16 views." When stuff goes up that's in high demand...it's probably safe to look at how many people have viewed these items already, and expect that the seller already has a [b]minimum[/b] of that qty of PM's ahead of yours.
If making good espresso was easy, Starbucks could do it...

Which is why I do emails only. Much easier to manage then PMs especially from an iPhone or iPad.

Definitely a smart way to go about doing that, using emails only.

For those on a Mac, the new email in 10.7 Lion is superb in organizing emails.  Love it.

I am topping this thread today.... my last 2 TSBC sales inquiries went without a response.  Plus, there seems yo be an influx of noobs here lately... and most are selling things with no feedback or even offers to provide references.

I don't care if you are a noob or not, but have some common courtesy to respond to a PM, even if the item is sold already...
