Some people may feel comfortable and answer, "my wife is gonna kill me if I don't sell some bike stuff". Probably lots less feel comfortable with a follow on question, "Jeez, is she always such a b*tch". I don't feel that not wanting to disclose my motives/circumstances surrounding a sale is any evidence of dishonesty/treachery/pathology and frankly resent any implication that it is. I don't begrudge those that are freer with their private affairs and hope that they realize that one size does not fit all and someone who is perhaps more private is still a decent, reasonable, and worthy person.

I asked how you guys respond to this, not for sniping at my character because I prefer to keep my transactions w/buyers impersonal or that how one's choice in responding to this question is a personal mark of grace.
