Is it bad etiquette to just simply ask to meet half way?

My big pet peeve along the same lines (I've had a little rant on this in the past)
Is the person that posts something up.
You think to yourself " Hey just what I need ! "
You send them a message, you can see that they have been online since sending them a PM.
And......................nothing.............
No communication, no idea if they still have it for sale. Nothing
Drives me nuts.

You can tell these people to pound sand...

You know what really grinds my gears.... if a person commit to buy and shows up at your house....LATE....looks at your tank, ask you countless questions, waste your time and then backs out. Talk about a f-around.

You know what else grinds my gears....price set agreed prior to the meet and the person shows up and tries to low ball you, you know what I say to that, honey, get the AR10 out of the gun safe please cause the 223 might not finish the job. Kidding I really don't mind haggling, it's part of this hobby, if you go to someone's house and spent 100 bucks and hangs out for 4 hours and had lunch I would say you probably shouldn't haggle but if that 4 hours was a short 20 minutes than by all means give it a world.

Bottom line is respect other people's time and be punctual to your fellow reefers. You never know who they know and who they talk to, you don't want to end up on the lowermainland reefing black list and no one will ever deal with you....nah, I am just kidding, there is no black list.....

One more thing since we are at it, if you want name brand stuff (wolverine this and pearl berry that)and don't want to pay name brand price please settle for the beautifully colored green slimmer, it will be a perfect fit for your tank and stop bothering those that will not sell it to you and move on to someone else, no point to keep on pressing.

Sorry if I have offended anyone but this is not directed towards anyone, its purely my opinion.
