Default sellers flake

Why are some of the sellers here such flakes. They post an item in the classified section then never respond to messages. One guy posted something and got several people interested then said "nevermind, my wife don't want me to sell the SHIRT". Another person was selling an article of clothing then sends a message, he's giving the clothes to his gardner. WTF? Gardner?? At this time of year?

It's not like they own a business or sell at a fleamarket. They probably won't be selling anything again. Jeez, "don't deal with them anymore" Duh Ok George.

Sounds like he 'couldn't deal' with 'em on the first item, let alone, "any more".

Me too, I can usually find someone who needs it worse than I do. It is usually less trouble to find some good soul to give it to rather than selling it anyway.
