>or even ask them to put some money down, before proceeding.
Yep. Just look at mature markets like housing. You don't see anyone wasting time without a deposit, which will be kept if the buyer doesn't go through with the closing.
Won't put down a earnest money deposit? They aren't serious. For all you know the do this knowing they won't pull the trigger, but to justify their job/identifying an opportunity, then being the hero when they "find something off" and save the company from a bad deal (which they manufactured in the first place)
