Though the OP doesnt directly say so, my guess is that the price wasnt agreed because the postage wasnt known. In this case there was no contract because there was no agreed consideration.
Not nice though. My phone is set to automatically record all calls so with that evidence of unacceptable hehavious I wouldnt hesistate to name the individual

But once the seller has agreed to sell to the buyer at the price verbally agreed the seller can not sell to higher bidder
This happens in property selling - gazumping. Which is not illegal in England.

Unfortunately the guilty party is going to be one of only a very few advertising parts suitable for the OP's car in Miscellany and all will be placed under suspicion.

Tricky one.......if it was purely done over the phone and you didn’t record the conversation....which why should you.....how do you prove anything?
I was gazuumped by a well known dealer a few years ago. NOT a Morgan dealer I hasten to add. Agreed that I’d have the car on Saturday, said I’d arrange for funds for the deposit on Monday only to arrive on Monday to be told it had been sold later on Saturday! I was not amused and they lost my business.

Yes we have all been looking through the adverts see who it could be.So not fair on the other advertisers.
But we are only hearing one side of a story !
