Not really, no. I wouldn't. I would tell my friend a deal is already going on, and either refuse, or would offer the original buyer a chance to compete. the thing is, if my friends asked to buy something, and I told them there was a deal going on, they would let it go because they care about their rep and mine. What you did, is go look for a shipping quote so I can paypal you, and instead just swung by to say the ken had been sold to your friend while I was asleep. That's not how business is done. I'm not gonna die over a failed transaction, I'm just telling you people here or on FKC don't do that, and that's how you damage your rep as a seller. If I had responded to one of your ForSale post and you'd decided to sell for a higher price, sure. You'd still have to actually contact me before going ahead and selling to someone else, it's called courtesy. But in this case, you came forward on my ISO post, and you offered the price you wanted. Your ending it out of the blue makes you an unreliable seller, period. There is a reason the forum has a Seller Feedback thread, because everybody tries to do decent transactions. it's not a problem of apologising after the facts, it's sense of value issue. It's the concept that it's okay to drop a ongoing deal because more money was offered, money I could have paid too, the fact that you're okay selling something 50% more to a "close friend" when you were okay to sell cheaper to a stranger, and the basic assumption that you might do the same thing again next time I want to buy something from you. I've been buying highend damas since summer, and I guarantee you that no legit member of the community agrees with those values. that's why I left a negative feedback, because I know I won't do business with you again. Not saying you're an evil scammer, just that I don't think you understand how dama transaction is done. now don't get me wrong, it's your right to sell your stuff the way you want, just like it's my right to want to warn my friends by leaving feedbacks.
