This is why people annoy you.
When someone starts an interaction like this with me, I assume they're trying to screw me over, by hoping I'll offer 15k, so I either just move on and go where ever I was headed next or I spend a million minutes researching the right price. Which results in me not replying to their tell in a timely fashion, or perhaps at all.
On the flipside if they just immediately told me a price I'd have immediately replied yes or no. This is why stores IRL can sell things at such a rapid pace.
If you're ever doing any tunnel questing, the onus is on you to try and sell things to the people passing through, not the other way around. It's like you paid 25$ for a parking space at a flea market (IRL). You're responsible for sealing deals with the people who walk by your folding table. If you're just saying crazy vague stuff to them they'll keep walking.
Now if you were just passing through, and noticed someone saying WTB, then the vagueness would make sense, he was acting like more like a cash for gold store, and you didn't really know what to say when you walked in. You've since admitted though this wasn't the case. Even if you made it sound that way originally in the OP.

The guy opened himself up to a tell offering said item when he said, "WTB item". Majority of people are going to initiate the convo with, "ok what are you offering for my item?" This isn't being greedy, this is being pragmatic.
Basically the guy had no clue what the item was worth, even when given a reasonable price to buy it, he still wasn't sure... so he decided to not buy it from me. I sold it for more than I offered it to him later on.
I just was annoyed with the time it took him to reach the conclusion he didn't want the item for the price I offered. Not that he didn't buy from me, just how long it took for me to basically make up his mind for him.
It took forever dealing with him, when he was the one that supposedly wanted this item.
I won't do it again, after a minute or so I will simply cut the deal off and move along if the person seems incapable of responding back in what I consider a timely fashion.
