Forum Question - Alternate Contact?

Bolt · October 11th, 2011, 10:42

EDIT: RESOLVED

Wasn't sure whether to drop this in the Newbie Tank or Off Topic, seeing as it's vaguely on-topic, but not strictly pertaining to airsoft, per se. I digress.

So, I'm trying to buy something off someone in the classifieds. All is well and good, I just need his EMT address to get the funds to him, and upon replying I learn that I cannot, and receive a message that his PM box is full and he needs to clear out some space to receive new messages.

Okay. I know why this is happening, but it puts me in a bad spot. Without a name or email listed on his profile, I can't contact the guy outside ASC. The longer I wait now, the more it will seem I just flaked on the sale.

Is there any other feature this site has to contact someone, or is a person notified when their PM box is 100% full? I would really rather not lose this transaction due (and possible gain poor buyer rep in the process) due to technological limitations.

Any and all help is appreciated.

who is the member? if you tell us who they are, there is a better chance that someone who knows them can chime in and contact them for you.

IMO, if his inbox is full, it's not your fault, I don't see why it's flake, it's his fault if his inbox is full!
But, if you still want to contact him, go on his profile page, you'll see a box where it's written ; Contact Info
Click on it, if he added his email adress, you'll see it there, I'm not sure, but I think everyone has their email adress there!

One thing though, I try to restrain all my ASC transactions ON asc, in case something goes bad!

I didn't want to give personal details right off the bat. Pointing fingers and all that.

Update - Resolved

Just managed to PM him. He must have cleaned out some of his messages this morning.
