It's now three days or so and he has not responded to my initial email nor to a second email that inquired as to whether or not he had gotten the first email. I also sent a second PM to ask the same. Nothing! This isn't the only time I've experienced this type of boorish behavior.

+1, Buyers are quick to complain about Sellers, but I believe that Buyers are frequently the problem in a transaction that has gone poorly. Buyers can often be guilty of the very things they complain about, including poor communications, inflated expectations, and my favorite, the "customer is always right" syndrome. A little sensitivity on the part of the Buyer would make things much better.
