How much time is enough?

maybe he is on vacation.
it is the holiday season.
also, you said he had not opened your pm, so he might very well have a good reason for not getting back to you right away.

Thanks for all your input. I just wanted to get a feel for what was the outer limit on a response. When I buy on the classifieds the deal is done in hours typically a day at the most. It's going on the 9th day now, factoring in the holiday season, I feel confident the buyer has lost interest.

Thanks again! Hope everyone here has a special holiday season and a healthy new year.

Whether a person has just expressed interest in purchasing or actually has agreed to do so, the courteous thing to do if he/she loses interest is to communicate that fact to the seller.  It doesn't take much effort, and all involved will feel better.
