All you're doing at this point is justifying being greedy. Saying "if X/Y/Z would've happened things would have been differently" is easy to say when you've made up your mind to sell the loom to others instead of return it.
If you wanted to do the right thing you would get whatever shit went down between you two in PMs sorted out, work out some reasonable deal, and be done with it.
But hey, you have a right to look at this and say you weren't scamming, just taking advantage of a good deal.
Similarly, the community can roll you/your clan's rep into this whether you like it or not.
