But at the very least, I like to give dickheads something to wonder/worry about.
Yeah, I just don't have the time or energy for something like that. Deals fall through all the time, buyers and sellers flake out, etc. That's why even if I "make a deal" with someone, it's not a "done deal" in my mind until both the money and the goods change hands.

I've lost track of the number of times I've made verbal agreements with people to buy or sell and then they just ghosted me before the transaction could be completed. Actually, it's not that I "lost track" it's that I never bother to keep track of such things.

It's just the nature of the marketplace. Not worth my time or money to even think about it.

As far as the OP's seller, my observation is that people who behave in a shitty manner, sooner or later it comes back to bite them in the ass so I don't worry about it. Karma will take care of it.
