In this case, I'd say both parties were "good", but distance and

2. The seller had a local buyer that was interested in the plane.
4. .... especially in light of #2, above.
All of these factors came into play -- most importantly #2. IMHO, without
#2 the seller might well have silently swallowed his worries, and gone
through with the deal.

fwiw - it really bothers me that there being another potential buyer could have
been a major factor (I'm not saying it was in fact, all we have is Jay's
impression). Maybe it's just me, but if a seller takes a deposit and starts
the sell/buy process with a buyer, then other potential buyers should not
be a consideration.

But who knows? The whole experience can be frustrating, but in this case
it's probably all for the best that the deal fell apart.

Agreed. For me, letting the airplane go somewhere else, especially if I
had a bad experience with the neutral shop, would like stop a deal.
