Etiquite Regarding Response Times to Offers

I wonder if sellers realize that when someone makes an offer to them, if they wait the entire 48 hours to reply (or some significant portion thereof), they are holding up the buyer from using their resources elsewhere. I find that quite annoying. Either reply yes/no or counter, but don't hold a person up!

The 48-hour lock on agon creates a disincentive for a seller to make a counter offer too. If you make a counter, you have to wait 48 hours for a response by the potential buyer, therefore precluding you from taking other deals. The 48-hour "lock" is troublesome in more than one way. Agree?

I noticed that e-mail from Audiogon regarding offers is sometimes routed to my spam folder and sometimes to my in box. I can't determine a pattern, so when I have have something listed or I am offering I check both.

I only get about 5% of email notifications from the AudiogoN system ... If I do not go to My Page I have no idea there is anything waiting for me. That said, if I HAD an ad I would check everyday for emails ... others with the same problem may not.

I am sure one reason for a slow response, is the seller is negotiating with an earlier bidder. I agree though, in that instance I would reply and say that is what is happening and I will re contact them when that negotiation is complete.
