I had a deal with an acquaintance to buy a Rollie fingers As jersey. I'd given him about 20% down, and had the jersey in hand. Then a show came up and he wanted it back so he could get it signed saying Fingers was his favorite.
Gave the jersey back, got the deposit back. He got it signed and sold it about 10 minutes later for a lot more than our deal had been for.
That's one of the few times something like that bothered me, probably because I'd comitted to buying it and backed out as a favor. On the other hand, he would bet me on our pool games and minigolf with the loser buying all the nights beer and always lost(remarkable, as I'm a terrible pool player and only average at minigolf) so It probably worked out somehow.
