Email Exchange Courtesy

Re: Email Exchange Courtesy

Esteban, I feel your pain. I happen to feel obligated to send a reply to emails I receive just because I was taught it was polite and proper etiquette to do so.

I know how busy I am, I can imagine other people who are collectors as a hobby have limited time to dedicate to replying, sending photos etc. Sure, it makes sense to be responsive when selling something, however, it also takes less than 3 seconds to hit reply and type, "Thanks, but I will pass" or "I'll take it" or "Thanks, I'll think about it."

Admittedly, you, Esteban, are my sole chance at getting Matt Diaz jerseys from Marlins FanFest so here's a preemptive "Thank you, sir"

My thoughts exactly Gingi. I always respond to every email I get which is usually someone wanting to purchase an item I displayed in the monthly pick up threads. I will say this though... I do remember those who haven't shown me the same courtesy I showed them and no longer give them the courtesy of a response or follow up. I guess that's my vindictive side getting the better of me
