Reverb then apparently let them off the hook by giving them an 'out' to explain the cancellation of the sale - which the seller never communicated directly - by claiming the case was 'defective'.
From Reverb's pov, it makes sense. Even if a large percentage of the deals that go down this way are because the seller got a better offer, it beats dealing with the headache of forcing damaged goods to ship. If I'm Reverb, I'd rather have people complaining that they got full refunds than people complaining that they got damaged goods and now have to wait to get their money back. The former may leave the buyer disappointed but the latter could kill the business.

Just wonder, does this happen often on Reverb?
I've had that happen to me on eBay. It probably happens with equal frequency on both sites.
