Before you starting going on a 
and getting everyone involved, did you in fact hear back from the seller that you weren't first in line for the purchase. I looked at the thread and it appeared to be the typically buy/sell with a lot of folks interested. You're right if you got passed over and were first in line...thats wrong, but I didn't see that in the back and forth....

One presumes from the sheer number of times that you posted in that thread regarding being entitled to buy those things, that you're miffed because someone else suggested that the items might no longer be for sale.
If that's true, then that's life.
It might not be fair, it might not be polite, it might be that someone else sent him a private message and they beat you to the punch.. I'm not sure any of us knows for certain and as you haven't given the member a chance to respond, how can we know?
You asked what was wrong. Well, for starters, trying to get everyone else involved in what right now is a matter between you and he.

Actually, now that I think about it......considering he only has 12 posts in 6 years......I'll bet this isn't his "forum of choice". I'll bet he posted his items on "other forums" too and went with the guys who responded "over there"......

I'd wait to hear from him. Your definitely 1st in line no doubt about that. But as the previous post states he might be a bit flaky with 12 posts in 6 years. Good luck with it. I hope you get the items. Great prices for sure.
