Why do people fill up carts, then never check out?

You guys aren't drunk enough to analyze the psychological make-up of a HOG!!! :eek: . . . .Why do you think I drink so much??? :confused: . . . .It hasn't helped me figure anything out either, but at least I'm too hammered to care!!! :D

When asked about the nature of hogs, an old Ohio Hog farmer once told me,

"Hogs?. . . Oh, you gotta love 'em. . . If you're not careful, or you turn your back on them, they'll eat you alive!. . . . Then the authorities will have to sift through the entire pen and hope to find your teeth and possibly one of your boots. . . . and that's if they're lucky!!!" :eek:

Welcome to HOGdom!!! :thumbup:

Jerry :D
 
Often websites won't give you all the information that you want about the price of a product unless you put it in the checkout cart. If I want to find out about shipping and handling and possibly taxes I have to put an order in a cart and provide a destination adddress. I don't like to go that far if I haven't decided to buy a product, but sometimes I have to. Sometimes I am trying to compare products from two websites and have to load up carts at both sites before I decide. Usually I will zero out a cart when I am done, but sometimes I close one of my windows before I get to that step.

When you are looking at products with lots of options you can spend a lot of time pushing a mouse around. I have had three airline websites open with 9 sets of alternate travel plans while I tried to evaluate the real costs and conveniences. Some of the websites required me to get to the checkout stage to find the hidden fees. Some customers may assume that they will have to get to your checkout step to really know what a product will cost them. They have been trained that way.

I've only put more than I needed in my cart once.
That was two different GW's, and I only had the two for as long it took to compare pictures to see which one I wanted.
When I was ready to throw one back, the cart was already empty and that was just something like ten minutes after adding them.
Still got what I wanted though.
 
Jeff's point is valid but I don't think it applies to this kind of sale. The only explanation I can think of regarding this "loading the cart" with no intention of buying phenomenon, is that it's a way for someone to feel a sense of power.

"I've got something that others want and it makes me feel powerful by withholding their ability to purchase it by keeping the inventory locked up in this cart." :rolleyes:

I selected, and bounced back, several orange sets when they showed up on the list by trying to QUICKLY get to a green. (This was after I had already bought my orange ones.) I *didn't* leave some in the cart for hours while I chatted with others about the unavailability of the orange GWs.

I think the carts should have a time limit of, say, 15 minutes... not hours.

(If you'll excuse me now, I think I've got some BCS SFNOs I need to go purge from my cart. Anybody want some?)
 
All I can say is "THANK YOU" to the Hogs that threw back or held some in their cart for a while, cause otherwise Mrs. Skunk wouldn't have been putting that package in the mail today!!!:D :D :D :D

Couldn't agree more! 15 minutes is plenty long enough to get your poop together and either place the order or cancel it. If you need more time than that to figure your finances out, then you probably shouldn't be loading up your shopping cart in the first place!
 
And again he refers to the tiger... so zen, crouching tiger hidden dragon? Skunk are you some sort of Monk?
