Yes, people aren't understanding what happened, but that's because the post is a bit unclear, and you have to read 2 separate posts to get the full story.
The OP said "I posted a wanted ad on the local Kart club's online classifieds (I am a member).
Yesterday morning a guy replied with his phone number. I called him 40 minutes later. It was 7:00 AM (his time when I called) and someone else already scooped it."
That makes it sound like the seller sent a PM to OP. Or at least that's a reasonable interpretation, and makes it confusing.
It's also unclear as to WHO the OP is suggesting did the dick move (most readers erroneously think he is pointing the finger mostly at the seller)
But from later posts, it becomes more clear what happened:
1) OP posted want ad.
2) Seller posted publicly IN THE THREAD "Hey I have one, call me at 555-5555."
3) Joe Blow (some random guy) saw the thread, and called the seller, pretending to be OP.
4) Seller sold to Joe Blow.
If those are the facts, things seem pretty obvious. Seller did nothing wrong. Joe Blow obviously pulled a dick move (pretty much any time someone lies, pretends to be someone else, and tricks someone in a deal, that's a dick move).
