When does i’ll Take it mean....i’ll Take it? You tell a seller you’ll take it , he sends u his number...you send him a time for pickup....crickets for 30 minutes then your told “sorry just sold”. Who does this?

IMHO: Your telling Seller you will take (buy) the item is only half the commitment towards a Deal. Did Seller only send his number to contact him (no deal yet, need both parties in agreement) or did Seller inform you he accepted your offer to buy the item (this would be a Gentleman's Agreement, a Deal pending actual transaction.
Some Buyers "I'll take it" come with additional buyer conditions: pending inspection, at lower price, after payday, when I sell my XXXX, when I get back in town(days, weeks), if you will drive XXX miles or deliver. Seller is not bound to accept add on conditions.
Sellers can refuse any I'll take it offer. Its his/her stuff. Some Sellers don't deal with buyers that don't have a "presents or reputation" on the Forum. This may be a certain amount of Posts, Buyer/Seller Reviews or a prior comment(s) made that the Seller decided he would not do
transaction with a Member. A simple No thank you response is best, no need to kick up dust.
There are always two sides to a failed/bad deal. If your sure you did your part and other party committed, then sold it to someone else: read the instructions for the Buyers/Sellers Reviews and Post it. Good or bad PM the other party a heads up. He/she can respond in a timely manner if desired.
Other Members may have differen views on this topic but thats the general flow as I see it.
I guess the question is - did the seller agree to your offer?
When you said “I’ll come get it at such and such time”, did he say ok?
He might have been working a deal with this other guy thru PMs before you came along or he might have just plain screwed you, hard to say without hearing both sides.
That would make for some interesting reading in another thread - “Gun deals (or potential gun deals) that did not go right”.
