  If they have something for sale then they should be checking once a day to see if they have a pm. If they can't check once a day they should wait to list the item. You should not have to wait longer than a day with atleast a pm telling you yay/nay or thinking about it.

  I agree with this time frame. Also, if you're not interested please say so, rather than not respond at all. I've had that happen a couple time. I think that's rude.

  Agree. When an offer has been made, don't leave a fellow forum member hanging---either agree to the offer or make a counteroffer.

  I guess it depends. If you sent a PM and then notice or can confirm that the member has been on the boards after you sent the PM then you can more or less believe they read the message. If they did not reply then it could be that they were busy, read the PM and logged off of the boards while completely forgetting to respond. In those cases another PM might be in order. However, I would say you should hear back within a day or two if the person really wants to sell the coin(s) in question.

  I guess it would depend on whether the seller said they are accepting offers. I always reply, even though I don't usually state I will accept offers.
  It does become a bit bothersome at times. The BST has some great folks. It also has some very rude folks. Try and be nice, they shun you if they don't get their way.

  another good idea is to post PM sent on the thread.. I know I sbscribe to the threads I post and I get sent an email to let me know someone posted.

  If you can't swim you better stay in the boat.......
