For me, if he gave you earnest money at the handshake and you discussed that many of the details, then you honor A's agreement and for me, it becomes a no brainer. B's should be a secondary offer. Seems like with earnest money exchanging hands, it would be alot easier to prove out something in court if they wanted to be dicks.

I had the wrong impression. I thought the handshake agreement was nothing more than "Would you take $162,500 for it?" and nothing else which is why I said have B come through because there are any number of details that could have made it unacceptable beyond just the price.
