Ok.
I have a member that has expressed interest in a couple items and communication was going great until a week ago. I haven't heard from this member for 7 days. I don't want to "out" this person so I will not mention names.
I will however make the situation known that way if I do end up not holding them forever then everyone will know that I have been fair.
I will wait for 1 more week before I stop holding them. If this isn't fair then please someone tell me what the expectations are for this situation.
