General Trade Etiquette
I currently have a deal on the table that I proposed. It was me sending away Thornton, Little Marchand and a 5th round pick for Tarasenko, Gaborik and Ellis and a 10th round pick. I sent this proposal to him Thursday afternoon and he said he would look at it after work and get back to me the next day. How long should I wait before I ask again what he is thinking or for a decision?

Re: General Trade Etiquette
I think his lack of reply is enough of an answer. If he's keen, he'll let you know. The likely scenario is he read the offer and right away wasn't taken by it. He probably forgot all about it after work.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
Usually a couple days. If someone hasnt responded after 4 or 5 days I just pull the offer off the table and move on.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
This. He won't be accepting the offer and I doubt he's actually interested in moving Tarasenko.Originally Posted by Atomic Wedgy

Re: General Trade Etiquette
I agree with you unless he does this all the time. Regardless though, any offer warrants a reply. If a manager took the time to put together an offer, then the proper etiquette is to reply, everytime, regardless of how bad it may be.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
Yeah that's the other side of it. I'd definitely follow up. Even if the guy isn't interested in moving Tank there could be other opportunities with this GM.

Re: General Trade Etiquette
if this guy is in a chance to win it I think that is a decent deal.
so yeah I would follow up. I usually follow up after 2 days but depends on the league an league activity. in some of my slower leagues I just let it sit for some time.

Re: General Trade Etiquette
I asked him and he said he was intrigued but would look at it after work to make sure and havent heard since. Just don't want to be that annoying owner

Re: General Trade Etiquette
In case he didn't get around to it on Friday and has had a busy weekend, I'd be a bit patient. Perhaps wait until tomorrow night or Tuesday with a quick 'just checking in if you've had further thoughts' type of message.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
Leave it up until you're tired of waiting.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
Is it still worth doing granted Marchand, Thornton and Little are all going off right now?

Re: General Trade Etiquette
Just flip him another message saying, 'hey have you had a chance to take another look.. Let me know.thx'.
Done, and you don't really look like a hound. just a courteous follow up

Re: General Trade Etiquette
Exactly. Some of us get sucked into other things NOT fantasy hockey related (weird, I know) OR have 8 damned teams to manage, which is 3 or 4 too many. I do my best to get back to trade offers within 48 hours, even if it's just "I'll look into this deeper and get back to you". At least the guy knows that you've seen the offer and are thinking about it. Always be polite in trade discussions, otherwise you may lose a potential trading partner in the future. Never pays to be a dick.
Re: General Trade Etiquette
In my more casual one-year leagues, I'd say 50% of my trade offers sit for 2+ days.
In my more passionate one-year leagues, I'd say only 1/4 owners don't reply.
It's something you have to live with... until you know your group of GMs... just assume they are busy or only mildly interested in fantasy hockey.
Eventually, you'll know the GMs that are "same-day" reply people.
