My replies were based off of this statement from your original post: "Seller stated original roof on 2008 home willing to offer 10k toward replacement."

I read that to mean it needed replacement. I don't blame the seller for going for another offer. Why take a contingency when you don't have to? I understand you aren't happy with the listing service, but they were told that you wouldn't remove the contingency. The other offer may have had a deadline. They can't waste time going back and forth with written offers when they have already been told your offer won't have what they want.
