I would tend to agree that posting here about deals gone awry should be a
very last resort. However I'm going to use this post to make a few comments
about deal completion (and I XFUT to theory and brickshops) which are
addressed to everyone, not specifically to Jay.

Agreed. Unexpected emergencies HAVE to take precedence and I think all good
sellers understand this and will gladly cancel the deal.
> or just because,
Disagree. I don't know where this deal was started, but on BrickLink, the
terms of service are quite clear. A deal is a deal, and wanting to get out
of the deal on a whim ("just because") is NOT an acceptable thing to do.
You (all readers, not just Jay) will be branded, and rightly so, as a bad
buyer, if you consistently enter into deals, make a committment to the
seller to buy something, and then capriciously change your mind.
Perhaps "just because" wasn't quite what you meant, Jay. But the hobby
doesn't need buyers who make a habit of changing their mind for no reason at
all.
Everyone should think carefully about making their commitment to buy, and
once they make it, stick to it, unless there is some very serious reason (it
is very regrettable that something bad happened to your dog, Jay. I hope
your dog gets better, but it's a perfect example of a serious and acceptable
reason to cancel in my book) not to do so.
Buyers are not dealing with retail stores, where returning something because
they didn't like it or changed your mind is OK or even expected... they're
dealing with fellow hobbyists who are significantly negatively impacted when
people waste their time this way. Please keep that in mind.
> I should have all rights to cancel.
As I said, I don't completely agree. Customer service is important and
you'll find the vast majority of sellers do want buyers to be happy and will
take whatever reasonable steps they can, but you're not dealing with retail
stores. Please remember that.
