moldybread Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 okay so i found a trade with an item i wanted in it, and i neomailed the owner to negotiate a price. i told them the amount they wanted was fine w/ me and like a day later they put the individual trade up. well during the day it took for them to respond i decided on something else i wanted and in order to afford it i wouldnt be able to buy this item. i neomailed them about this and wished them good luck trading but their response was just three dots. i feel really bad now :( i hate doing that to people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxious Zombie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Don't worry about it, it's not like that person can't sell the item to someone else. Sometimes we decide we want something else, it happens. ~Xandria and Lamppost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bandit Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 it sounds like you did exactly the right thing. It's natural for the seller to be a little miffed, especially if maybe they've been trying to sell for a while, but at least you had the politeness to tell them you didn't want the item, as opposed to just not neomailing them at all, which is what many people would do.

poptart123 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I agree with the others. I have been on both ends of this situation. And believe me, it's rare that people let you know when these things happen. I would much rather get a response than the item just sit there when I was expecting an offer. And I always tend to let people know when I am the one offering like you did when it does happen and although they get a little annoyed they understand. It's possible the person hadn't been in that predicament before. You did nothing wrong :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummydumpty Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think that's fine. The person will be pissed, but you know what? (Okay, I wanted an excuse to use that.) It's your money in the end, and I'm sure they'll find someone else to sell the item. Duskitty, poptart123, gingerew and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If I were the seller I would appreciate the NM very much (ok so maybe I would facepalm a bit but still I'd thank you for the reply). What ticks me off is the lack of response. Like, hellloooo what happened over at your end? Did you fall into the Rainbow Pool? Is that a no? (& really is it so hard to type that?) That gets really frustrating at the TP, when I'm trying to haggle, either as a seller or buyer. Talk to me & allow me to help us reach a deal or at least have the courtesy to follow up D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerew Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Yup, as dummydumpty so eloquently said, haters gonna hate :) You were polite and courteous and many people would appreciate your thoughtfulness and shoot you back a NM to thank you! I think that this person just overreacted. I know it doesn't feel good when you know you made someone else mad, but you have to do what's best for you and they would do the same thing back - nothing wrong with that.

karmacow Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I wouldn't say what you did was mean, but I would be annoyed if I was that seller. Maybe hold off on contacting people until you're sure you want what they're selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
