The seller responded to the ad with his contact info, where everyone on the forum could see his reply, and did not contact the OP privately.
The dickhead saw the reply and called the seller to buy the transponder, even though he knew he was cutting in front of the OP.
Had the seller posted an ad to sell the transponder- fine, the first guy that offers money gets it. THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.
That's bad, ethically speaking. If you don't see it that way, then I'd tell you that you are not a reasonable person. And, we'll have to agree to disagree.

To be honest , That last sentence is terribly written.
By all standards of English it doesn't make any sense and I gave up on it.
The lack of interpunction and switching persons all within one single sentence made me just shrug.
I assumed he was still going on about the hypothecal "If he posted his transponder for sale in its own"
If I was him I would have replied to my ad asking to be next in line.
I him I my WTF?
If I was him: I would have replied to my ad asking to be next in line.
Makes slightly more sense, except Nobody replies to his own ad , does he?
"If I was him: I would have replied to sellers post on the wanted for sale ad, asking to be next in line instead of snatching it from the seller."
That would have made sense to everybody.
Seller did nothing wrong, the one who sniped it was a bit of a dick.
But to moan about that, frankly , there are worse things in life.. I wouldn't do it
but i sure as hell would not go out on a forum to cry about it if somebody had sniped one like that... unless it was a friend, and he knew about my intent..From a complete stranger, pff, no relation , he owes me nothing. Not worth crying about
