Questions.

It was evidently a frustrating experience for both of you and sometimes it's just better to cut off a deal before it becomes an ordeal. I've gone further in dealing with local buyers or sellers who turned out to be blatantly unconcerned with wasting my time and have regretted it. But it seems you cut this one off too soon, especially if he had a hard to find piece of equipment that you really wanted.

It is possible that this seller was honestly mistaken about the location - many people drive by landmarks and recollection, not by street names and points of the compass. That doesn't mean they are unreliable in all elements of their life. When you couldn't find the restaurant, why didn't you phone him right then from the car to let him know where you were and get clarification instead of going back home and wasting so much time that you couldn't have the lunch? He could have corrected the error and you would still have had time to meet. You didn't forget your cell phone or forget to bring his number with you in the car, did you?

Seems like you had a low threshold for frustration and are partially at fault. But it's over now. No real harm done, he'll find another buyer and you'll find another preamp.
