Many buyers just have unreasonable expectations of sellers. As a seller it is clear that nothing is a done deal until you have been paid. Since even if a buyer says they will take it, at bare minimum that agreement is based on an accurate description of the item for sale. Since any description may be considered incorrect due to differing opinions of condition, as well as hundreds of possibilities for miscommunication given the esoteric details of complex items (ie. "Oh, I thought it had the 6.2" barrel nut just the 6" one, I already have 3 of these!"), there is always a lot of possibility for a deal not to happen or to be unsatisfactory for the buyer ("I drove a hundred miles because that dope didn't know he had the shorter barrel I bet he never spent the hundred hours I have exploring the history of the Rambu Motley ZZ36"). Since this is the case, it would be good for buyers to realize that a seller has a lot of incentive to take the deal that is real and in front of them.
So, buyers should relax, accept the fact that they may or may not get the item, but they do have the right to refuse to do the deal if the item isn't what they thought it was, and that sellers, in this case, don't have the right to kick them to the curb for that. Buyers are sometimes sellers so having an empathy for the position of another should be easy. This is the fair way to do deals and to avoid leaving negative feedback. This is about buying TOYS not about obtaining the elixir of life itself, and another good deal is always just around the corner.
