We also may have a difference of opinion regarding the etiquette of a sale. I expect that I'm a little more conservative than you and possibly older.

I have had so many people tell me they were going to buy something online.
And then never actually coming through, that in my book there is no sale until money was exchanged.
In this case there had been no exchange of funds.
And there had not been any formal agreement to do a sale.
There had not even been a discussion about buying, he had not even contacted the seller at that point.
Age has nothing to do with this.
Seller wants to get rid of something in return for money
Seller did what he intended to do
Seller had not made any promisses, or accepted an offer to buy from OP.
And my English is just fine thankyouverymuch, allow me to explain it to you:

If he posted his transponder for sale in its own ad and not replied to my wanted ad then for sure, first to reply gets it.
What do you guys think? Should I be mad?
If I was him I would have replied to my ad asking to be next in line.

The bold part indicates a mitigating factor which would by OP's standards , he would give the seller a break for selling to someone else on the first come first serve basis.
That automatically implies that OP seems to think that without that factor, he has a right to be mad for seller selling it to somebody else.
Which means he implies that he thinks Seller did a Dick Move, and he's not talking about the actual buyer at that point.
Nothing wrong with my English. You might wanna brush up on yours.
