Is this the normal way business is handled?

Maybe someone has asked this before but being somewhat new I haven't seen this issue addressed.

I was looking into buying a pair of speakers from another member (who lives 2000 miles away) While I was asking the seller the usual questions, I'm sure other people were too.
Well I decided to buy the speakers and told the seller so. I was willing to pay the asked price along with all shipping costs. He stated that a local (to him)person was interested (but had not comitted to buy), and he would rather sell them to them to avoid shipping. I feel my offer to purchase was just used as leverage to make the other person to make a quicker decision.

Since I made the first offer isn't the seller obligated to sell them to me?

I am with Viridian, so many tire kickers, hard to determine those that are serious, versus those that are not. If someone is in, out, in, out, of a deal, and another person comes in with a solid, or strong offer (deemed by 'I will overnight you payment or send it immediately via PayPal) OR is LOCAL, they would win the deal.

Not only has this happened to me, but someone left feedback TWICE for a transaction that never happened!!
