This one seems a little ambiguous to me - you say you asked him to let you know, but did he ever actually agree to do that? From the seller's perspective, he may have felt pressured to give you a better deal than market price, and didn't want to do that, which I can sort of understand- unless there was an understanding between you--

I have a "friend" that I have had dealings with for over 20 years. He had a very unique card that he knew I would like to buy. I asked him over the years to just let me know when it would come up for sale so I can first crack. Well, earlier this year, it came to auction in a major auction house. 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.
