How quickly do you usually respond to trade offers/discussions ? What do you expect from others ? It varies for me depending on which of my leagues, but curious to hear others input

24 hours both ways.
Edit: If I'm struggling to accept/reject/counter, then it very well might go past a day. But usually within the hour I'll do something.
Knowing the trading partner is important, like some owners might leave my offers out there for week+. I usually stop sending those types offers.

If you're not interested, as soon as you see it.
If you're somewhat interested, a reply within a few hours that you're pondering it.
If you're planning to accept, also within a couple of hours.
If you're a total dullard and really shouldn't be playing serious fantasy baseball, more than a day.

I respond as soon as I am able, but many in my league do not.
It is annoying to me, but most do not respond at all if they are not interested, and a few that will drag their feet even if they are. We have several guys that if/when their team sucks and selling is the obvious choice, will hold all major assets to close to the trade deadline no matter what kind of offer you make to them earlier than that. Their theory is that it will eventually raise bids and demand as those in the money are desperate to pull ahead. I think if you are in dead last place across the board with a Reds-type team, there is no hurry to dump, but there is no downside to fielding offers. In fact, I think it is wiser to make a good deal earlier rather than later, as assets can get hurt or underperform. The only exception to this is if you have a hurt or underperforming asset that you think will increase in value with time.

Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostI guess an appropriate follow up would be--how long do you give an owner to respond after they say--I'll think about it....
EDIT: there is also some level of relationships that play a part. You sent me an a small offer a week ago and I ignored it for a few days (sorry). But i think i usually respond to you pretty quickly so I assumed you knew I had some level of interest in that I didn't reject it, but I also didn't respond so I was mulling it over. And if it was an larger deal I would have responded or if you thought it was important I assumed you would have nudged me. The question is really about the level of engagement owners have in the league I suppose.---------------------------------------------

I'm usually within a day. If goes longer than 24 hr I informed the other party as to why. Last year the Commish never responded to any of my trade offers. It sat there for over a week despite a couple of emails from me stating do you not like the trade or are you considering it or another proposal. I almost didn't come back this year. His father also in the league never responded to me. Lucky for me the rest of the owners acted in a timely manner. I think it is just rude to not respond.

But if they never respond or take a week I personally find that much more frustratingIf I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Originally posted by GwynnInTheHall View PostI like conclusion one way or another asap--going silent is just not cool IMO. If you want a better deal--decline and look for one, don't keep the offer hanging while you shop. But then, I'm a guy who immediately responds when an offer comes my way. And of course, since I have high expectations of everyone, I get frustrated/disappointed quicker and more often than most.
