There’s no deal until both have agreed to a deal. If someone offers the full ask while someone else is still trying to negotiate, there is nothing wrong at all with taking the full offer. Anyone who is upset that while trying to negotiate a lower price someone else bought the item at list should be quickly blocked.

Perhaps not blocked, although that's up to the seller, but nobody should really be sore over this situation when somebody else was fine to quickly pay the full price. It's just sour grapes on the part of Customer #1 because they lost out to Customer #2's willingness to seal the deal.

In my opinion, the member making a less than full ask offer should not be upset. Consider eBay items listed as BIN with Make an Offer. An item can have multiple offers, but if someone buys it for full ask, that’s it.
