How serious is the "Marketplace Forum" ?

How serious do you take the Marketplace Forum whether you're the buyer or the seller?

Serious Seller = Post stuff for sale and go through all the way
Serious Buyer = When you say you buy, you buy.

Non-Serious Seller = Post sale for fun and then MIA (Missing in Action)
Non-Serious Buyer = Said you want it and then MIA

Just curious if this forum is a playground to some attention seeker. IMHO, for seller whois unsure he'll sell, just put a FEELER, and for the buyer, inform the seller that he's thinking about it.

Edit: Move to off topic please..

It's serious, the only thing I think is a complete joke is that a price isn't required for items one is selling. "Send me offers" - come on here. Post a price and the person who gives you that amount you take it. Bf.c has that rule in their classifieds and I think it works much better.

I do hope people take the forum seriously and only post what they intend to sell. Recently someone just go MIA after agree upon a sale of a set of blackline which basically wasted my time and spoil my weekend plans. I don't mind if it was sold for an extra penny, but I hope that person would show some balls and be honest about it. I don't usually try to buy stuff on forums but people here seems to be so far so good...until my recent experience...just thought I would ask..
