The seller is a Goodwill picker; a middle-man; at best

Goodwill shelf in a store somewhere, to you.
I think this aspect is important to consider in this case.
You're looking at the glass as half empty. There are at least three
major aspects which you have *not* considered:
1. He came to us, first.
2. Once he found out it was valuable, he didn't take it to E-Bay.
3. Everyone on this list had a fair shot at it.
Opportunist? Maybe-- he got lucky and wanted to ca$h in. Good for
him. Is that such a crime? If you had a way to sell 'lucky breaks',
you'd have folks beating a path to your door.
Scoundrel? Only if he misrepresents himself or the merchandise;
on this forum, it is best to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Alot more than $0.02 but I think it needed saying . . .
