How long should I wait for owner's response?

I rent regularly through VRBO or HomeAway. There I typically have responses within 24 hours. Often times, owners respond within a couple hours. I've found a unit I'm interested in. I was reluctant to pay a fee just to be able to contact the owner. Reluctantly, I did pay the RedWeek fee. I sent an inquiry to the owner, but I've haven't gotten a response. This obviously doesn't work as well as VRBO or HomeAway. I do realize people could be away, sick,etc; but in searching the forum, this seems to be an ongoing issue. Any value in re-inquiring? How long should I wait til I give up and move on?
