A woman came Saturday and bought all the plants I has for sale EXCEPT the cacti. I've posted them on Marketplace, local FB selling groups and CraigsList. Not one inquiry. Hypotheses?

Maybe since the cacti are non-native people might not know how to take care of them.
Are they prickly pear ? In Aussie land most people including myself get cuttings for FREE ( my son’s garden has heaps of succulents ) not cacti .
Any excess succulents I get from him gets put in my green bin
Maybe people are wary of cacti getting out of control as it can …especially if planted in the ground and it’s not like removing / trimming succulent's….cacti is challenging because of its thorns
We only have one cacti and it’s a golden ball
We , a friend and I visited a succulent garden that was in the open garden scheme with about 200 different plants on Saturday.
Prickly pear grows wild ( controlled) on the outskirts of the town where I live people pick the fruit but I’ve got no idea what they do with it , however I do know it can be preserved
