Not everyone knows the etiquette of buying and selling. Most people who sell stuff have no idea how to do it. With most deals it's just a shot in the dark. People should 'honor' the deal when things are worked out, but many don't, as they don't see selling something is 'honorable' to begin with.
Craigslist is full of this nonsense. Usually I keep it really simple when I want to purchase something online whether it be here or Craigslist. I email and say, "I would like to purchase the ******* you have, where do I send the money?" and this works 90% of the time. I mean there are always those deals. I wouldn't take it personal - selling something takes time, energy, and patience. And a lot of people have none of those.
