Having just sold my PST and my C8 recently (I hope you aren't referring to the PST Chris!
I tried to communicate with all involved as best I could) I had several PM replies to both with nothing posted in the Icetrades thread.
I worked on the principle that first PM in deserves first option.
It all comes down to courtesy to others I feel. Communicate, and don't try to do anything dodgy.
I'm sorry you were let down by the communication Chris (whoever it was with).
