I guess I have a conscience and like to sleep at night!!

Same deal.. on my Ranger truck. Had a guy come look at it for his daughter. He liked it and we made a deal. He asked if I wanted a deposit (was going to come back 4 days later to pick it up). I said no, his word was good enough. During the 4 days I litterally had 6 calls from people that wanted the truck. I realised I had it listed too cheap and could get more, but I told all the people it was sold and to call back Sunday in case the guy fell through.

Sure it was only a matter of a few hundred bucks but when I give my word it's a done deal.

This deal just sounded like mis-communication, which is a shame. Hope it works out for all parties.
