I don't think the seller did anything wrong. Certainly not to warrant him being boycotted. It would have been nice if he had held the item, and sent you the pics but he certainly did not have to. Maybe you should be happy that you didn't buy this. You made no committment to buy and he made none to sell. Your committment to buy based on pics is not a committment because you left yourself a way to back out. He found another person that honored his terms before anyone else including you and therefore the sale took place. This is one of the things that go along with internet sales.
