I'm not sure that what you propose is such a good idea. It's plain from
reading the buyer's post that he wanted the parts, and was willing to
purchase. Intent to buy to me indicates that the buyer was committed to
buying from the seller, even though they knew what condition the second lot
of parts could have come in.
As far as cancelling a transaction, sure, the seller can reserve the right
to do so, but only with the understanding that they take responsibility for
any situations which arise out of cancelling a transaction, and that
Brickbay is not held responsible for such actions. Basically, think along
the lines of those software warranties, and the kind of disclaimer that
comes with things that don't normally have much of a warranty or guarantee.

Strangely enough, one could almost ask why it was typed as it was. Maybe
the seller was taking offense at the implication that his LEGO was
smoke-contaminated, even though the buyer also praised him for it? It may
well be due to such feedback, whether positive or negative, that a
transaction or future transaction might get canceled.
