Had a very bad experience with a seller just now on the buy and sell thread. Went to view the camera, which was abt $100 cheaper than usual because he was not giving me the original nikon charger and there was a crack in the lcd panel. Saw that the crack was bigger than i had imagined so I asked him if he would provide a one week warranty if I got it from him tonight. He said he did not mention any warranty on his thread and refused to provide and asked me to try it there. Since he refused to provide a one week warranty, I told him i cannot decide and asked him if i could shoot some pictures with the cam and bring the cf card home to check the shutter count and if there were any dead pixels issue. Hearing that, he got worked up and said I was wasting his time and that it was already very cheap. He said I was not being fair to him and wasting his time and that, I should get it because it is already so cheap. My belief is that when you decide to let someone view your camera, you should be prepared that the person might change his mind and that it should not be a waste of time and I was not even saying i don't want it, just wanted a warranty.
He kept saying no way no warranty, and that I should stop wasting his time. I decided his attitude was very bad so I told him he can take his camera home, I am not buying. In my exchanges I did not say i would get it definitely but he said he was under the impression I was going to get it from him ( without even looking at it). He even pointed the middle finger at me.
Would like some views on whether I did anything wrong. This is the excerpt of our conversation. His nick is blanked out.

In my opinion, I did not do anythign wrong. What do you all think? Quite a bad experience.
