My Father-in-law was a car salesman most of his adult life. He treated everyone that came in the same. Spent time with them, explained the cars, took them on multiple test drives. Maybe 1 in 5 probably bought a car, but those that did came back to him again and again, even when he changed dealerships and even brands. When he moved from Florida to Georgia there were customers in FL that came to Georgia just to do a deal with him. A good salesman would never think a test drive was a waste of time, even when they can tell you aren't buying today. There is always tomorrow.

I can't stand when people misrepresent themselves as looking to buy something they have no intention to.
I'm selling a set a high end speakers at the moment. At least 5 people have emailed me with a list of questions and that's where it stopped, even though there was no detrimental info given. That is selfish and inconsiderate. Pretending to be interested in buying for the purpose of one's personal interest. It shows no respect for other's time or effort. Just stay home and fap.

If they were interested enough to ask a question then they were interested. It's very possible they were looking at several versions of the same item on several dozen sites, and they decided yours weren't the right ones. I have noticed that both buyers and sellers just have a tendency these days to ghost you when they have either sold the device, or have bought one somewhere else, or decided it wasn't the right one for them.

Upgraded to Totem Tribe Tower. Not worth cross border shipping, although I have had it requested.

Test driving a car knowing full well there is no way you will be purchasing that car from that individual is misrepresentation. Alternately, you can tell the seller your actual motive so he can tell you to go pound sand. It amazes me how clueless some people can be. If you think it is the business of a salesperson to demo a car for you that you know darn well you wont be buying then you deserve to be a car salesman. Please don't complain when you are unable to put a roof over your head though.
