Bobby Valentin sold - two quality 45s left

Sent a parcel to ITALY a couple of weeks ago with tracking. So the buyer emails me some time after asking for the reference number. I checked it out on RM's online track and trace only to be informed that the item had arrived and was being processed in NEW DEHLI!!! WTF! I use a drop and go service and checked out the docket and the receipt and both clearly state ITALY...how the hell can it end up in India!

Ebony Stones - Take You Higher/We Want To Do It (ESP) (EX/EX) £350 Hear Two sides of class Texan funky soul.

The two sides of the 45 did appear on the album but the single is pretty tough to find. Educators Band - Everybody Doing Their Thing Part 1/Everybody Doing Their Thing Part 2 (Dy.Rich) (EX) £125 Hear One of my favourite funk records ever: the way those drums and the bass kick against each other, the sprinkling keys, the soaring sax.

My reply to his PM is still unread so I'm assuming the email is too. So I'm torn between giving him more time (but that's an unknown quantity as he may be one of those 'check emails at random' types - as opposed to being a 'hardwired into a computer 10 hours a day' type) or telling the other guy he can have it. Kind of feel bad doing the latter as it's like punishing him for something that may not be his fault. Tricky.

I can see that the PM reply I sent on here hasn't been seen yet so probably he's not picked up his emails too. Dug around the site and found a mobile too (from 2008 so who knows who got that!) so tried that avenue and still no reply so maybe just off the radar at the moment. Frustrating though, when you want to get it done and move 'em out.

What's the general etiquette around this? I'm happy to hold stuff for a reasonable amount of time (up to 3 weeks for more expensive things*, less for cheaper stuff) but how about shorter term holds where you're asked for something, you reply within 5 minutes with all the details needed to fulfill the deal and two days later still no reply or acknowledgement of the reply? In between, someone else comes in and asks for the same thing leaving me hanging on for the first guy's reply. Do I honour the reply I gave to the first guy or draw a line under it and offer it to the second guy? I guess people have life focuses other than records but you'd expect that if you've asked for a record, chances are you'll get a reply so it's up to you to check. Unless your internet's dead, I guess. Don't want to p-off the guy after saying it's on hold for him but equally can't really afford to maybe lose out. *that said I'm into week 5 of holding something that has a deposit on it
