It is amazing to get so many different answers to a simple question of what a reasonable time frame is to respond to a PM. I get accused of butt hurt when there seems to be more of it in some of these replies. I was looking at replies of say 1 hour,2 hours,2 day etc.,etc. It wasn't meant to be complicated.

You're right it is. Nobody misses a chance to bast someone if they can. It reminds of one of the machinist pages I joined years ago. I post something about using PVC pipe for air lines in my garage. Everybody jumped on me like I had raped their wives. It was a taboo topic on there, I guess.C'mon, Man!!!!
This is OSA!!!
Ok, now your just trying to make common sense.How are there 7 pages about this?
1) Interested "buyer" sends offer of a trade.
2) Seller says "send me pics" (It was evidently a Frankenstein AR so that makes complete sense; that's the only way seller would be able to really see what was being offered).
3) Interested "buyer" then goes on about life without responding with pics for seller to even see.
4) Seller gets other offer(s) and accepts one (which means those interested "buyers" are engaging with seller) and has no idea if Frankenstein owner is even still interested since there has been no activity.
5) Frankenstein owner is now mad that the world didn't stop so he could get around to sending pics?
How embarrassing to make a post about this like you're entitled for sellers to wait around on you...
Next time do this:
PM seller with:
I am interested in your ______. I have this to trade (Attach pictures of whatever it is that you want to trade along with a good description). Then you give your cell and ask to have them text if interested. If they are, it's a quick decision and done.
If the other offer was better than yours, I don't think it matters that you replied first.A member posted a Hellcat on here around noon today. I sent him a PM on a trade offer and went about running some errands, plus yard work. About six hours later I checked for a response to find a request for picture of my trade offer gun. I sent those and got a reply of " I'm making another deal if that doesn't happen, I'll message you. Am I being too unreasonable thinking that I made first offer and should have been given first chance? Or was he too impatience? Is there a standard reply time limit ?
