My question exactly! I've been looking for a Brown Leather Ocean Hat for quite some time now!

Yes it does, if you'd stop and read. Look, if you want to buy something, you put it in your wishlist, then turn on notification. Then when somebody does not know if anybody WANTS what they have to sell, they check "buying" see that 300 people want it, and put it up for sale. This insures that things people want get put up for sale, instead of just the same few dozen items over and over.

When I first looked at the new Buying section my first thought was "meh."

True, it is less useful to you, as an individual. But it is more useful to the economy as a whole. And will further the advancement of the economy the more people use it.
