XD This actually is very close to an actual note I received on Deviantart, only instead of his fursona it was to be a gift for his wife on their anniversary and he wanted her drawn having sex with a hyper horse guy.
Free of course.
Haven't drawn it, and he still sends me a note every year now asking/telling me the same thing.

This actually made me laugh. I've done this before, but let's play Devil's Advocate. As aforementioned; I've told people "I don't have money for (blank)" before, but usually when I do it, it's towards artists that I commission regularly, and I feel as if I don't tell them I'm broke at the moment, they'll almost expect me to buy a YCH, adoptable, etc so I'll say things like; "Oh, that's so awesome, but I'm broke right now". Just letting them know I've seen it, and liked it enough to the point where I WOULD have purchased it...had I not gone on a wild shopping spree on Amazon.
Which would be great if the artist was asking if there is interest.
Most times the artist is announcing they are open for commissions, which is a call to those who actually intend to buy. Telling them you want to but have no money is useless at that point. Hence why you see so many comments above from artists who find this behavior *very* annoying. You're not being directly addressed, so there's no need to tell them you can't afford it. It's a general announcement to all watchers. Think of it as the difference between someone standing in front of the store offering people products and a sign being in front of a store offering a product. You can turn it down and say why when a person is saying directly to you "would you like one of these?" If you walked into a store and told them "I can't afford this, sorry" because you saw a sign in front, you'd get some really confused looks.

What if I like what is displayed in the store (in the case of let's say art,furniture,anything creatively done) and want to tell the creator,that I like it enough to consider buying something - just not at the current point of time?
I know,still would get confused looks. Nevertheless I don't think it's that bad,as long there is no asking for free stuff motivating it.

I have done this,I will admit. For me it is just another "I like your stuff" comment though,I guess. When a comission journal pops up in my inbox I somehow feel obliged to tell the artist,that I like their stuff enough to consider buying something,if I had enough disposable income dedicated to furry art.
That said,I find this hilarious nevertheless.
