Thanks everyone!
I actually don't do this for a living. I'm an audio enthusiast, a former music major and indie studio engineer who loves music and audio. I bought and sold tons of new and used gears in the past years. I'd been helping people sell and trade their stuff and I met a lot of good people in the process.
True story, recently, I agreed to sell an Enleum HPA-23RM Headphone amp to someone for $2000 and then received another cash offer for $2300 the very next day. I honored the original $2000 without flinching. Now, that's a gentlemen's agreement. How many people on agon would do that right now? And if there were even a semblance of an agreement to buy the item as Zappas so had claimed, I would have honored it. And by saying "I'll see what's happening when I get back" is borderline a brush-off. It's like saying "If it doesn't sell by the time I get back, I'll low-ball you then".
And as soon as OP Zappas turns definitively rude, not only he's no longer a gentleman, he becomes instantly ineligible to buy anything from me in the future. This is good riddance. I will not deal with this level of immaturity, entitlement and disrespectfulness.
