Quoted from TheSaint025:Quick question, why is it that sellers ignore new members? is there something that I’m missing? I joined Pinside as a new member, I verified my address and even donated to the site... looking to connect with sellers for a few pins that I am looking for, I have cash in hand, I am able to arrange shipping but have sent messages to 5 sellers and no response.... most post have been listed in the past few days, JERZYROB posted a Metallica pin and I was very interested! Now has me blocked? Am I doing something wrong? Any advice would be appreciated..
I’m curious what the content of your PMs were to the sellers. LOTS of us sellers are wary of time wasters, or “tire kickers”. There are only so many games to go around, and sellers will prefer to sell to a well known person, someone who physically shows up with cash in hand, or someone who just makes a deal outright without making a big deal out of it.
I get a lot of buyers who want me to take a million photos, then don’t respond, or want to negotiate price, or suddenly their wife finds out and they bail. There are just too many legit buyers out there to waste your life dealing with that crap. You may be totally legitimate, but a new member along with the types of questions you are asking may set off alarm bells and the seller may choose to just move on. Don’t take it personally.
