The points you make are real and I need to explore this more.

Certainly unethical, but given that this was a retail seller and not a wholesaler, there's really no recourse (with a wholesaler, the bad reputation could be enough of a deterrent).I've always wondered if the 3-day approval period was something that wholesalers and other investors used as a means to throw out non-contingent offers that they could still rescind if a couple days of due diligence indicated it wasn't a good deal.
