Have any of you ever refused to sell a reptile to a certain person?

Yup. My friend, about two months ago, gave me his bearded dragon because he felt he wasn't taking care of it. When I picked it up, it was malnourished, dehydrated, didn't have water in the tank, hadn't shed in a year, and didn't even have a UVB.
I took him and put all my emergency funds into getting him up to par. It was amazing to see the transformation.

Fast forward a month. I was trying to sell it and it's tank so I could buy a new snake. I ended up selling it to my cousin, who I trust very much with animals. She's taking real good care of him now, and he's even in shed, so I'm very happy with his progress.

Anyway, the day before my cousin came over to pick him up, a friend sends me a text saying they'd buy the dragon for 10x more than what my cousin was buying it for (she paid $150 for him and everything). I thought that was kinda sketch, so I asked her why she wanted it so bad. Apparently, she thought she could just buy it and give it back to my friend, the original owner. I guess the original owner saw the add I posted for it, saying it was dehydrated and malnourished when I took him in, and got really upset. He (original owner) was saying that he, 'Didn't know it was in that bad of shape.' He obviously didn't do his homework, and didn't even ask for help. I told the chick who wanted to buy it to give it back to him that she could forget about it, I'm not sending him back to his grave when I'd just pulled him out of it.
