Let's say you are in the market for a new car. The market value for the model you want is $40k. You negotiate a deal with a dealer for $35k. After the sale, the dealer then refunds your money and then sells it to another customer for $40k.
Now, if you want that same car, you are forced to pay $40k on the open market. You will have to pay $5k more. You have lost this amount. You have lost the benefit of the bargain you negotiated.
I think anyone would be unhappy with this result.

Unhappy? Of course.
I disagree, if OP is not out money, he wasn't ripped off. He's exactly the same as before the deal. I guess we see it different.
