Hey Jimmy, I don't think you necessarily did anything wrong - but speculating he took the "it's a PSA2 EPDG back, thanks" (or however you responded in similar) as a bit snarky. Thus the counter and "...you're welcome".
Just a thought here - take the high road. "Thank you for your bid and interest, I'm into it a bit more than that - can go to $45 if that works for you" .. Or something to that effect. If he counters lower than that, thank him again, can't do that as it would be selling at a loss, but appreciate his interest and concern. Again, something along that line.
You don't have to be overly flowery, but in general - think about how you'd respond to someone as a bidder on the above vs. something like "it's an EPDG, thanks". People buy from people they like and respect, want to do business with. It's so easy to get offended so I try at least to take a higher road and create some sense of want to work with you/buy from me type of dialog.
