They lose the house they're trying to buy if this doesn't go through. They let me know that the day I put my offer in and used that to justify the increase due diligence request. That's what makes all this that much more crazy to me.
It seemed clear from your posts you were pretty intent on this house. The first indicator was probably that you agreed to a higher due diligence fee. From that point on, they had the upper hand. Ultimately, they called your bluff and benefitted. You really do have to be willing to walk away or any of your negotiations have a good probably of being tested and falling through.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
