I just don't understand.
I waited 7 days before offering the ball to another but I couldn't blame him if he no longer wants it. A week is a long time to wait these days. Sigh ...

perhaps you should "eCard" some of the potential buyers ...
Especially those you do not know!How goes it? ... check your email

I think I would message both people letting them know that others are interested, user A has first dibs, but they need to let you know within the next day (or longer if you see fit) or you will move to the next in line.
I now try to post pics of any ball that I am selling, and I try to take at least 4 so that all sides can be viewed. It's easier to just take pics and post them than to have to send individual e-mails.
But, I've pretty much seen all the stated behavior. One time I must have sent 12 different pictures because the person kept asking "is that a scratch or flash/lighting a few inches above the pin? Can you send me a better picture?" "Thanks, but I still can't tell, can you zoom in closer?"
Heck, I've even sold a few times where the buyer didn't bother to let me know they received the items.
If ebay and paypal didn't take 10-16% of the final value I'd probably sell there, but it really isn't any better with the questions and responses.

My favorite is when someone ask for pictures of a ball I have for sale and never reply back with anything..

5 seconds out of their life. Is that too much to ask?

This is such a fitting post as I listed a few balls for sale Tuesday. After listing the specs, layouts in regards to both my PAP and pin and mb locations relative to the gripping holes, I still had four picture requests within an hour after posting. Maybe it's just my irritation manifesting, but it's a used bowling ball, they all look about the same. After honoring the picture requests, I had no response from three and one who tried to lowball me to the point I was honestly pissed off. He wanted a single drill Full Swing and a single drill 930T for $100 shipped from Arkansas to California. After the shipping costs I was getting about $30 a ball. The used ball market sucks, but I didn't realize it was this bad.
It isn't. He did lowball you. If they have low games and few scratches, they are premium balls (Internet price approx $135-145 shipped) and should get around $45 - 60 per ball + shipping.
