I'm smiling as I write that some of us - well, me - don't think of 21 hours as excessive or tardy. You know, work, sleep, bosses, mates.......
Maybe "sniping" is too dramatic a word; I was taking license to make a point.
Thanks, JunkYardBike.
My two cents, take it for what it's worth:
If as Robbietunes said, the person contacted him "10 nanoseconds" after he posted, I think sniping would be a pretty accurate description. I wonder if the same person contacted both Robbietunes and Noah Scape. Regardless of whether or not the sellers should have waited and how long before entertaining other offers, I think it's pretty poor form on the part of the sniper.
It seems to me a more appropriate response would have been to post saying that he or she was looking for some too and if afilado doesn't take it, could you please contact them.
