This was also not as formal of a transaction as you are probably used to, since you tend to buy from the bigger guys. This is small-hobbyist to small-hobbyist, and the relationships tend to be a bit more casual and personal when these transactions take place.

I have to disagree with this. Business is business. Whether you're dealing with thousands of dollars per transaction...or a handful of single dollar bills. Part of the problem with this "industry" that we all want to be a part of, is so many people who refuse to take the business end of it seriously and treat other people like crap because "it's just a hobby"..."it's just a few dollars"....or "that's just the way I am." And anyone who can't treat the business part of the hobby as it should be treated, WILL feel it come back and bite them in the butt.

I'm very sorry you lost your fire. But I'm even more sorry that you feel you're owed something special just because you treated someone kindly. Kindness not offered freely and without expectations is not a kindness at all...but merely an attempt at manipulation.
