So on the weekend I sold a coin (as the result of sending an offer), and the customer wanted to look for more coins. I provided my shipping details so they would know by when I'd need payment for the next shipment (which will be next Monday). So far so good.
Then I got a couple of very low offers (too low to consider), along with an explanation of why the coin is worth the offer, and what the catalogue says. I responded that I don't pay attention to catalogues, the B&M store prices them, I go by their pricing. I believe I had to repeat myself because we went through this twice ($25 for an $80 coin and $15 for a $40 or something coin).
My last message (because it's late for me on the East Coast) was that I was going to get some sleep and I'd reply to his offers on Monday. Right before I sent it, another message showed up, but I waited until Monday to read it.
It was a $10 offer on a $9.99 coin. (The B&M shop owner thinks my customer is confused, he's a repeat buyer and never had any issues, it's just weird to get an offer like that). I replied that the coin was 9.99 so if he was offering $10 he could just buy it, but then let him know that I'll be sending offers Monday evening and if he waits until then, I'll offer it for a better price. (Which I did when I sent my offers last night).
It's been complete silence, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be sending an invoice for the coin he bought, or is he buying more things. In previous transactions he doesn't tend to wait very long between messages to complete a transaction. So I'm kind of wondering what's going on, and a little perplexed.

If I understand you correctly, the customer has until this coming Monday to pay (today is Tuesday), so I would wait a few more days to see what happens and then send the invoice.
Who knows what may be going on in this person's life 😞

I'm not so much worried about the payment as just wondering what's going on (it's because of the message exchange that I've become concerned). There are lots of personalities online and some of them don't mesh too much with my blunt straightforward manner of communicating.
I suppose I can send the invoice (I usually do that to make it easy to pay) come Saturday if I don't hear from him before then.
