Quoted from Hayfarmer:

People often offer higher price. Then never follow thru. You did right by going with first person

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

Remember the name of the sniper and don’t do business with them. They have no honor knowing a deal is already made and will not hesitate to renege on any deal they make with you.

Quoted from guitarded:

I would never sell anything out from under a Buyer unless that Buyer failed to meet the terms of our deal.
Didn't send the deposit, Didn't pay on time, Didn't show up for arranged pickup, etc...
Only after that kind of situation would I ever consider the following bids (higher, lower, whatever).

^^^ALL OF THIS. I love how the buyer goes from, "I like the machine. Can I come see it? Possibly make a sale?" right to I'll give you $600 more to flake on an agreed upon deal when he was told there was a deal in place already. He wasn't even a buyer to begin with..."possibly"...now he wants it for sure for $600 more than asking price? This is the type of buyer that would have shown up and busted you down even more on your price originally and/or wouldn't have shown up with the $7000 after the fact anyway like he offered. Not worth dealing with those people.
