feeling frustrated

Not sure if this is the place for it but just wanting to vent because this has been on my mind. I had the opportunity to purchase a dream wheelset, ENVE ses 4.5 with Chris King hubs for $900 NZD. Arranged to meet up with seller and went to go pick up the wheels, he then tells me that he had someone else coming to take a look at the bike that the wheels were on and that he would rather sell the whole bike with the wheels. The other guy shows up and decides he wants to purchase the bike, I walk out empty handed with time wasted. First world problems I know but I’m gutted that I got mucked around after being so stoked to get the wheelset.

Anyone else with a similar experience?
