fraggle42 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Rep Geek sales. Selling to CONUS, fine, thinks me, I'll send a PM just testing the water, I ask if they're willing to sell to the UK. If it was me that received a PM like that and I only wanted to sell CONUS, fine, no problem, I'd reply back saying "Sorry, selling CONUS only.". I wouldn't ignore it. And ignore a post in the FS thread. Bloody kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it really hurt your feelings that much? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'd ignore being ignored though. You had the answer to your question before you asked, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 There is no UK in CONUS is there? You know, some people don't have the time to answer every PM or to post threads where they [censored] and moan about people who don't answer their PM's...

Legend Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I always do my best to be polite. I also understand that on forums these days, being ill-mannered is a matter of self-convenience, something which I do not agree with myself. It takes about 5-10sec to send a short thank you reply, and this reply would make someone's life more pleasant in a very little way. Why not?

panerai153 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I try to reply to PM's ,trouble is I don't visit every forum every day, so I might have a PM in my inbox on Repgeek or WUS for a week or two. Not because I don't want to answer, just don't see the message. One thing I've learned in all these years, you never know who your next customer will be. The guy you ignore, may be just the fellow that would buy your sales watch, or has a part you need. I learned a few of life's lessons the hard way, and one of those I learned was don't burn your bridges. AFA replying to posts, If I have a sales thread up, I will do my best to answer every inquiry, even the low ballers, who just get a simple , "not interested in your offer'. In the case above, the seller said CONUS only, but suppose that watch languishes on the forum for several weeks and several price drops, maybe the idea of selling outside the CONUS is not such a bad idea.If you replied the first time, possibly a return PM later asking if the guy was still interested, Might generate a sale after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about 5-10sec to send a short thank you reply, and this reply would make someone's life more pleasant in a very little way. Why not? Nothing surprises me these days with people on forums or in day to day dealing with Real people, however I have to say I agree with Legend on this Life can be such an uphill struggle for some and even if my polite reply makes their day just a little better than it was for me it's worth bothering about. But I am 'old school' and as such still try to treat emails/texts as if actual chat, most people these days don't One member that has made me smile lately was over on RwI, I wanted to buy a Gen piece he was selling but he had a guy before me so I had to wait, unfortunately for me the deal went through so no watch for me but the seller made the effort to let me know that day and then searched/kept an eye out for me for another one the same and emailed me to let me know where it was too, do I appreciate the effort he has made? Of course I bloody do and when he has another piece for sale I'm confident to buy from him too 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fana05 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I really don't think it's a discernable trend. With tens of thousands of members from all walks of life and from all around the world you'll inevitably run into the occasional oddball. So far I've had nothing but positive experiences across the four fora Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ressmeplz Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The question is: If the seller says CONUS, why you have to ask if he send the watch in UK? Not want to sound rude but many sellers (including me) are tired to answer stupid questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not want to sound rude but many sellers (including me) are tired to answer stupid questions. I believe its called "trying your luck" if you happen to like a nice watch that seller listed as "CONUS only". Many a times, I saw a watch listed as "CONUS only" sold internationally. Sometimes you just need to ask, its quite human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
