Selling a car

So I have sold many cars in Bahrain over the past 10 years and one thing always happens. I advertise the car on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp groups and website. All details, description and price is clearly shown and mentioned.

But then I will revive a message asking not for the final price but just 'the price', which is clearly mentioned, and when I give it to them they will then ask for the final price.

On top of this I will then have people message saying things like "hello, can I come to see the vehicle", "is this still available?" Etc etc, I will then reply with "hello, I'm free on this day", "hello, yes it is still available" and then no response.

My main question is, What's up with these guys lol are they just bored and having nothing to do, or is this the adult version of children ringing door bells and then running away lol

Every time I sell a car I always have it marked up as I'm expecting to bring it down. But obviously people then need to respond to my reply haha
