Timeline of events (summary):
- 02/07/2016 I offered defcon23 a genesis trade-in or $25 for #1 Brass (which is what the coin was worth at the time, as the other #1 coins have sold for a maximum of $25). He declined my offer.
- 09/07/2016 Genesis Auction starts.
- 12/07/2016 Mutual negative ratings were left (I left the first rating). Later this day, the auction had finished[1].
- 15/07/2016 We have come to an agreement that works for each other. We have made peace and have resumed normal communications.
[1] - I'm actually the person who won the auction as the current winner was bidding for me.
You forgot to mention the fact that you threatened ("jokingly" or not) defcon23 with negative trust if he did not sell the coin to you.
You also failed to mention that you told defcon23 that you expected to be asked to pay a higher price for a similar coin "later"
You failed to mention that a less desirable coin (serial number 2 as opposed to 1) was selling for much more then your offer price
