Quoted from CrazyLevi:Or is "PM SENT" more of a territorial mark, meant to ward off other would-be PM senders, thus increasing your chances of scoring the big deal and reducing the amount of other potential buyers?
Opinions appreciated. Please DO NOT send PMs.
This is always how I have viewed "PM sent". it's basically declaring this item is mine, so back off. You see it on facebook marketplace all the time. I've always thought it was a pretty stupid practice. Just send a PM, no need for the redundant public message.
