The lack of a response implies their disinterest. It's just part of the game.

Disinterest after interest. Hrm. It all makes sense now.

Negotiation Cardinal Rule #1: The person who mentions price first loses.

Another Edmunds.com editor, Scott Memmer, has a rule he calls "Memmer's Principle" which is based on his experience in sales. Memmer's Principle states that "the person who mentions price first, loses."

7. Don't make the first move. The best way to find out if the other negotiator's aspirations are low is to induce them to open first. They may ask for less than you think. If you open first, you may give away more than is necessary. A good example of this is something I learned in real estate investing a long time ago; ‘the first to mention price first always loses!

I am interested in said item, whisper to inquire for price details. Upon finding out what Seller_A is requesting for said item, if I find that price to be entirely too high no response is necessary. The lack of a response implies that I am not interested in said item at said price.

Conversely if the price were somewhat close to what I deem appropriate to pay for said item, I will counter with another offer and let the negotiations begin.

I don't understand someone taking serious offense when something that happens all the time in EC Trading occurs to them, its just how things work.
