Yes, off the record you should be somewhat flexible as a seller. If someone makes me a formal offer and then sends me an email within 24 hours that they changed their mind or they made a mistake, I'm not going to force them to follow through with the payment and wind up with something they can't afford or don't want.  But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think before hitting the buy now button. This is like the game show Deal or No Deal.
This is a b$$shit move NOT to allow people to retract an offer. I have seller right now just sitting on my offer. I dont have time to be waiting 30 days to see if he reject my offer. I bought something else. Now I have to send him a message stating I am no longer interested.. BTW He sent me a message the first time I sent an offer saying my offer was too low and said if I go up to a certain amount he will accept it and that I need to be quick! .. Well I was quick.. he wasnt.. Audiogon needs to step it up! No app is also a big loss.... anyway that is my opinions...

what if you fail to defuse bomb? ka boom -- you can't retract from there!

many businesses have that ego and policy!

nickcaper- offers not accepted within 48 hours are automatically cancelled.  So it's 2 days, not 30. 
I had a gent try to retract an offer after making it. I did accept the offer and he, predictably, refused to pay. 

I left him negative feedback and he kept saying that I just wanted to keep his money. Audiogon fines you for backing out of an offer, but the seller does not get the money, no surprise there.

After  corresponding with the gent further, I realized that English was a second language for him and he had not grasped the intricacies of the Agon system.

I emailed Audiogon and requested that they cancel the negative feedback and customer service was kind enough to do so.
