    I've seen this "thing" happening a lot with some DPers. They come, make an interesting [WTB] Thread and they simply dissapear after that... maybe hours, maybe days and even for weeks.

    I mean... don't make a thread where you want to buy something if you aren't planning to come back and check it!

    That is probably to get money out of DP revenue share system.

    I think alot of it is to do with our 'Impuse Buying Nature'

    They have a Brain Fart and say 'I wanna Buy this' then a few hours later they decide they dont!! We all do this throughout life.

    Be spontanious..... :D

    Yeah! I have seen many threads with prospective buyers settling for a rate and then lowering it to the abysmal unprofitable limits and later responding through PM that they don't have sufficient amount in the paypal and just disappear :rolleyes:

    Duh! Its called linkbait.
    :D
    Someone makes a "WTB Sig Links" post. Every man and his dog visit the thread. he'll get about 600 clicks on his sig links. Free marketing ;)

    I started to realise in February when around 4 of every 5 sig link buyers never actually bought any links or replied to the thread.

    I do about the oppisite I guess. I see something like that & either reply or send a PM, then completely forget about it unless I get a response.
