RE: Any horonable people left out there?
Unless you made a down payment or some other agreement with the seller that he 'd hold it for YOU alone, the item is fair game for whoever comes along. Like T-bird junkie, a bird holdin' the cash is worth two that say they'll be back, to warp a well-known proverb.
Hate to see you leave over something like this; you wanted to vent, you did, but looks like popular opinion doesn't agree with yours. Don't go away mad.................
