How can a discussion have served it's purpose if no resolution has been found? Quite a few times a WTS pops up and I PM the member that I will take it .Nothing.Days go by.Suddenly it is sold.How did the seller miss my "I WILL TAKE IT"Sure the EE drives CGN but when someone puts a price on something that price should be that price. Laziness is not a excuse.
How has a thread served it's purpose?

Been there, felt that way at first until you realize that there are probably 5 other guys that feel just like you.
You have to be quick if you see something at a price you want it for.
Also look at the number of other people that have viewed the thread, if more than 1 or two there's a chance it might already be gone.
There's no way the seller has a chance to immediately update the thread and they may be busy exchanging info with the buyer. As well in the mean time remember there are likely another 15 people saying they will take it. The seller will likely send all 15 the same 'sorry, sold' message. You win some you lose some. That's life but keep trying. It does eventually work out.
**Edit, by your feedback score you've won plenty of times.**

It's not so much about whether the person got the gun or not but rather about sellers not responding to messages or updating listings. And we are not talking about not "immediately" updating ads. When 3 or 4 days or more go by, that's plenty of time to respond to messages or update the ad. This thread is likely started in response to the one I started a couple of days ago that has been locked. In fairness to the seller, he finally replied to me last evening after I sent a final, not quite so nice message.
I have had excellent results until the last few items I Have up for sale. One was a I WILL TAKE IT and than changes his mind saying he did not know what I will take it means? Another after packing and getting a shipping price he is gone. I always get back to offers or let buyer know if others have beat him to buy. A few other mixed up buyers.

Wow an EE rant in here, how about that. I thought EE rants were only allowed on Tuesdays?
