is it common for people to just stop communicating?
I keep trying to sell an old dragon but every time someone agrees to buy it they just stop responding. I nudge them and they say "oh yeah okay!" and then I send another message and they just stop. No response for days now. And last time I tried selling the buyer went quiet for months straight. I'm worried this new buyer is just going to drop the transaction again and I'm going to have to wait ages to sell this thing because of new color wheel excitement making everyone hold onto their money. We haven't even come to a deal on the price. The buyer was going to negotiate and pay partially with items but we haven't even discussed that because they haven't replied to my message. It's been a week now since I sent it and it's been over two weeks since they said they'd buy the dragon.
I'm also in the middle of an art trade for sketches but the person who set up the trades has sent me one message a month after prompting. I held up my end of the deal, they just say they've been a little slow. I know some art takes time, but damnit, YOU'RE the one who wanted art trades in the first place and it's just a sketch.
These are all people who are otherwise active. I'm just tired of being left hanging all the time. But if I send any more messages, I just seem like a greedy nagging asshole. I don't even care at this point if they decide not to follow through with it, just tell me so I'm not sitting here waiting for your bullshit.
