Definitely bad manners.
I had a similar experience recently when buying a car. I told the seller
I wanted it, he had to run and suggested we get together that evening
to settle things. I then got a call that he showed it again, and
and had an offer over asking price. He then offered it to me for
teh higher price, since I saw it first. He then called back and
siad the other buyer would pay more. Hrrmph. It took another
2 weeks for me to find an acceptable car.
