You don't negotiate a price at Sears.

Your incentive is to receive a discount offer for your khaki pants if you buy them while at the mall.

Your intent cast has value that can be cashed in immediately.

I completely don't get this.

Any intent information that is valuable to a vendor
is more valuable to me.

Here's an example.  It's a summer weekend, and I'm
walking through an anchor store at the mall, looking
at khaki pants.

Here are two pieces of intent information.

 "I'm cutting through the store on the way to pick up
 my car at Sears.  I wonder if there are any decent
 khaki pants on sale, since I could probably use
 another pair."

 "I ripped my last pair of khaki pants and I have a
 meeting in Palo Alto on Monday morning.  I have a
 lot of stuff to get done and I'm not leaving this
 store without a new pair."

What's my incentive to reveal which intent is the
true one?

Can anyone come up with a scenario in which selling my
intent information is more valuable to me than keeping
it confidential when I go to negotiate a purchase?
