If the latter, couldn't he have claimed, as you are now, that he had agreed to sell, and you had agreed to purchase. but now you are backing out of the sale?
That's why I say, since you hadn't agreed on a deal, with terms (price) specified, he didn't renege on anything. I assume you were reserving the right to "renege" if his ask had been too high, right?

Interesting thought. If he requested a ridiculously high price, I probably would have tried to negotiate a more-fair price. Unfortunately, he never gave me that chance because he declined to sell as he had indicated that he would. I guess my declination would have been dependent upon what number he actually came up with.
