He made a sincere offer that you didn't accept. If you'd accepted it, he would have sold it. You're basically saying you're holding out for him to agree to your lower price hoping no one will agree to pay more than you've offered over the next couple of weeks. From his perspective, it's supply and demand, there might be demand for the car, so he doesn't want to lower the price if he doesn't have to.

So how is he "jerking you" and more than you're "jerking him?" There's nothing wrong with your strategy, and unless he's lying to you about something there's nothing wrong with his.
