When I asked him about it, he stated "Well, I didn't want to squeeze you on price, so I just sent it to the auction house to sell". Sigh, no, you wanted to maximize all the profit and not give me the opportunity to buy.

That's sad....people have every right to maximize their profits but it hurts when you asked about having the first crack if he decided to sell. Did he at least tell you he when and where he put it up for auction?
