Why do people respond to a Marketplace ad when...

I honestly think Marketplace has taken over what we would call "Window Shopping" back in the day.
We could walk down a long Blvd. of shops and see things and dream and for impulse buyers it turns
into a nightmare for sellers. They keep looking and put in an "I m interested" tag on several things and
maybe will actually buy - maybe not. I do think that is part of it.
 
A few years ago (before I moved), I had a go-around with a local woman. She responded to almost everything I had posted and set a time to come, but never showed up. When I queried her, it was always some lame excuse or a vague reply:

"I decided to go to my grandson's soccer game."
"I am getting things ready."
"I forgot I had something else to do."
"I couldn't find you." (really lame since she lived just up the street).

I finally blocked her.

And trolls. Don't forget them.
 
I had another poop-out. Someone was supposed to come at 11 am this morning to look at framed art prints. Just received a PM saying he/she forgot about all-day meetings. Sounds lame that they wouldn't know that had meetings today, but at least they let me know.
