That is up to you.
If you thought he was suspicious enough to question the decision of NICS/FBI and mention it to them, then that should be enough for you to find some excuse to not sell to the person.
If you want to say "meh - not my problem", then that is your decision too - but you can't blame NICS/FBI for your decision to go ahead and sell if you thought they were making a mistake. You could have just said to them "come back in a week" or given some other excuse.
I was brand new at selling guns, it was my first or second gun show and I still believed that the FBI/NICS actually knew what they were doing. It didn't take long for me to see that they were a bunch of misguided idiots.
Actually I made plenty of mistakes as an FFL, one of the one's I regret was letting the ATF take my 4473 records out of my shop on many occasions--They told me a great story that ended with "we'll hafta close your store down if you don't allow us to take those records" and I believed them, later that day when the director of the local ATF shop called, to thank me for allowing them to take my records away, I believed them more--Too bad You weren't around to help me out back then, Mr Helper Guy
