Default Negative experience with Billyscards

Recently, I made a deal with Billyscards for the Hanna Ruth bat he had listed here on Net54.
It was kind of an "odd" deal, because I had to wait to pay him like two weeks. But in the end, that deal went ok, and I got the bat just fine. So I have no problem with that. And I LOVE the bat.

But then he had a nice Gehrig photo for sale, and I emailed him to ask about it. We finally made the deal for the photo. He takes down his auction, but said we had to finalize the deal after the weekend.
Then I wait until after the weekend, and no word. So I email to ask about it.
He emails me back:

Sorry for delay. So here is the deal.. ALS and Gehrig hold a special spot with our family and I mentioned to the wife about selling these and she is giving me a hard time (even though the cash sounds nice). I need to work on her a little more but may end up hanging on to these. I’m sorry for misleading but hope you understand.

Ok. Fine, I understand. Some items I have I would have a hard time parting with. That makes sense, even though I am disappointed.

Until today, which is SEVEN DAYS LATER, and he has it RELISTED on eBay for TWICE THE PRICE.

I get it if you don't want to sell something, but as many of you know, I sold some of my stuff to finance the deal. That just feels SMARMY to me to not be enough of a stand up guy to tell me the real truth.

I am not saying he ripped me off, because no money changed hands.
I just guess that Gehrig and ALS holds a special spot with him, UNLESS HE CAN GET MORE MONEY.

I just wanted to let people know my experience, in case they were thinking of doing business with this person.

Since I am still fuming, I guess it is also totally possible that I am in the wrong here (I know, I could have waited to sell my stuff, so that one is on me, not him).
If I am, please feel free to let me know, and maybe I will calm down. Lord knows I have been wrong before! Lol.
