I've learned from experiences the hard way that being nice to people who aren't nice to you ALWAYS backfires.
Imo as the seller you have every right to do whatever you want, in terms of pricing, dealing, or whatever conditions you want to set. Still remember the retarded stuff like trading guitar for potato chips. You can sell a spoilt DS-1 for 1 million dollars for all you care and no one can stop you. Bottom line is its your call to do anything you want. I'm sorry if you're in a situation where you're desperate to sell an item and that's when the buyer has got you by the throat and you're willing to lose some dignity just to get rid of your item. If you're confident of selling to someone else, simply say nicely, I'm sorry sir, I'm not comfortable dealing with you and I've decided not to sell it to you.
Not many people get this because they've the mentality the customer is always right and all that bullshit. So these kind of people are part and parcel of dealing 2nd hand. Sometimes I can tell someone is like that just by the way they are smsing me while trying to deal. If I have high interest in the item I will tell the guy nicely sorry I'm just not so keen on selling to you anymore full stop, even if he was first in line.
You may have a rule that the first person gets the item. Try not to keep that rule black and white and allow yourself space for some flexibility. Since you said you had other interested parties you really should have saved yourself some anxiety by turning that fellow down. Like someone else said. Everyone gains.. You don't have to deal with an asshole, and that kid gets a brand new guitar rather than 2nd hand.
