Dunno, sounds like some kind of agreement to sell was made.
Unless there was no verbal agreement at all to sell on the conditions above, or the seller states something like if you do not get the money to me by date I will sell to the next in line, then they do this at the risk of appearing to have broken a deal.
Yeah of course, the seller can always sell to someone else. But if a communication has stated or implied that a deal has been made, it's a risky move to then sell to someone else without first warning the buyer. But I can see why a seller might do that. Risk of non sale might be greater than risk of appearing, at worse, to be a bad trader.
tl;dr sellers need to be crystal clear on the conditions of a sale if it's not immediate, buyers need be weary if those conditions aren't made to them.
How's that for some kind of fence sitting.
PS are the lightweight wheels still available?
