Trading with Board Members?

This issue has come up with another board member and I. When trading with someone or trying to work out a deal how long should one wait for a response back from a board member. I am currently trying to sell some 67s and had a member say they would take them for said price. They said they would send a check several days ago. I have PM them and not heard to see if they had sent check. I would like to take the cards with me to the National if they are not going through with deal, that is fine. I would just like a response. Opinions please.

Edit: Actually the last time I corresponded with this person was on 7-25 and they said they would send check, I was just checking to see if they sent check and have not heard back. I just wondered if not getting a reply for 3-4 days is being picky on my part.

    I would say to go ahead and deal them elsewhere. If you have tried to contact them and they have not replied, I don't think you are obligated to trade/sell to them. Nationals is a good opportunity to just let go because of someone else's doings. JMO and good luck at Nationals.
    EAMUS CATULI!

    Tough question indeed.

    Personally, over a week or so and no response and Nationals here this weekend, this is no normal circumstance my friend.

    I would take them w/ me if I were you.

    Have fun this weekend and don't spend all your $$$$ in 1 booth. image

    I have had several dealings with other members here and whenever we were putting a deal together the communication was within hours at a minumum, if its been several days, take them and sell them, I know if someone had something I wanted and offered it to me I would move on it right away. I would not expect them to hold on to it for days before I got back to them.

    good luck at the show.

    I'm the "other party" in question. I'm relatively new to the board so apologies if I have breached any unwritten etiquette. I thought that PMs forwarded to one's regular email so I hadn't been checking every day.

    Stingray - I sent you the check on Wednesday so you should have it today or tomorrow.

    A little slack for the newbie? :-)

    If I don't get notice or a check within 24 hrs., I send out the dogs!

    No problem Moosehead, I just wanted to make sure that you were still wanting them. I just did not want to loose a chance to have them with me for the National. Cards will be on there way soon.

    I always thought that some cheese went well with wine (sorry if this was taken as a wine fest).

    Ok, I have another issue (whine). Made a trade with someone a while back, this person forgot to send one of the cards he was suppose to send with his group. Got a PM from him on July 18th that he would ship it out on the 19th. Still no card as of today. I live in Michigan he lives on the East coast, should it take this long if shipped on the 19th for regular mail?

    All in fun.

    We have a good time here.

    Many of us have traded or sold cards to each other. Wish you continued good luck in your collecting efforts.
