I have experienced this same lack of courtesy when attempting to sell a
horn. Advertisers in the "Trombone Wanted" that do not respond to my
offering with a simple "I've already found one" as well as those that ask
for pics in response to my ad and I never hear another word.

"What has happened to common courtesy?" you ask;

Danged if I know!
