It was their domain and they could do with it whatever they wanted. If they didn't want to sell it to me for any reason, that's their call.
Did you see a long ranty post about me calling them racist or anything like that? Nope. I just moved on. Was a frustrated? Definitely but it was THEIR domain and THEY could do whatever they wanted with it.
Guess what? I still have a very good reputation with my client - this deal falling though didn't deter them from continuing to do business with me.
Don't assume that you're the only person it's ever happened to - deals fall though all the time, your best option is to learn from it and move on.
