Am I just wound too tight?

....or am I right in thinking that if I take the time, at some board members request, to scan some cards and send the files in an email, I deserve at least a sorry no thanks in response?

Unfortunately, they've turned to dust waiting for a response.

I get the same thing in the workplace. Long detailed solutions to someone's issue, and not so much as a "got it" or even a "stop it" in response.
Whattya gonna do?
We're ALL wound too tight. Anyhoo, this is the reason why I always ask folks to email me and request a scan and make a ballpark offer pending approval of that scan. You tend to weed out the "I just wannna see it", tire kickers. I think a no thank you would be the minumum you should expect, but I'm wound pretty tight as well

I totally understand the point you made, my comment was directed to DGF. He recently sold a 77 Rose PSA 10, and requested the interested parties email him requesting a scan. I simply wish he would have posted a scan, and taking the time to copy his email address and create and email seemed a bit time consuming. With the exception of Ryan cards (which I go after) most of the cards I buy are impulse buys because I happen to see a scan of the card, like the way it looks, and buy it. For some reason DGF prefered to keep the picture of his card only for "truly interested buyers" instead of the entire board, and perhaps someone like me who might have seen a scan and decided to make a generous offer. But that was his decision.
So Mark, to respond directly to your point, if I personally requested a scan of some cards from a board member because i was interested in those specific cards, and the board member had to scan those cards just for me, i would without a doubt let the seller know if i was interested or not after seeing the scans.

Mark,
Is it me?

Jon,
Let me see if I get this straight. You want me to take the time to post a scan so all the goons who get uptight about SPAM and quote prices like $150 can invent problems with the card and make a mockery out of something totally legit, correct? We're talking about a $750 "impulse purchase", yet you find copying an email address too time consuming??? Pardon me, but you sound like a class A jerk and the EXACT reason I didn't post a scan.

Mark,
I am sorry to hijack your thread. Have you considered that perhaps he just forgot or your email didn't reach him? A long-shot, but possible.
It wasn't me, was it??? That sounds like something I'd do.

In any event, I'd still say that 90% of the board participants are great to deal with and would not treat you that way.
When a person receives a scan, it takes all of 2 seconds to hit the reply button and tell the party that they had received the scan and will consider the card or "thank you for taking the time to send me a scan but I will pass on the card" - courtesy is free.
Oh, and BTW, if one is a collector?...by definition...we are wound a little on the tight side.

#1 - The person is none of you.
#2 - After being ignored, I posted on the thread he started if he had received my email. I also ttt'd it twice.
#3 - All the while, he has been logged in and posting on these boards.
As one greater than us once said, some people don't have the sense they were born with.

added to the registry? Ebay? Conventions? Thefts?
I sent you cards, correct? You were one of the gang who contacted me about some 80's cards? I got a dozen lists via email and completed roughly half as the others never followed up. Did I follow through with you on Bradley and Bankhead? Was that you? My memory is shot!!!

You did send me the cards (back in December). They were sweet cards and just what I needed.
I sent you a thank you by email or PM as soon as I got them. But thanks again!
