That wouldn't really change things. I feel bad for canceling the deal, but in the 3+ weeks since the prospective buyer said he wanted it I had a shift in some gigs and how I'm approaching things. I pulled the bass out of the case and it started working for me. So at that point I have a dilemma - I can sell it and then turn around and try to find an equivalent instrument (pita and a lot of "devil you know" - I've cycled through a lot of instruments), or I can back out of the deal. I have sold a lot of gear over the past few years at a loss as I've sorted through what tools I want/need. And in many cases cut people really good deals. Some of those were instruments that in retrospect I should have kept.
I think musicians likely understand this dynamic. Sometimes you get tools that work for you, then don't (and vice versa). And gigs/circumstances can change as well. And sometimes your mind changes - it is a creative endeavor, not a math problem.
