You see an ad on ODT that interests you. You PM the seller. You travel a lot. You say "if you sell it before we meet, that's okay with me, don't hold it for me." You make arrangements to meet to look at the item. At no point have you said, "I'll take it." Both parties are on time for the meeting. You shake hands. You look at the item and decide the item is not particularly worth (to you) what the seller is asking. You offer less. The seller says no. You say thank you and good luck selling it. You shake hands. You leave. Is the seller justified in leaving negative feedback?

Sounds like this will be solved by mods based on your pm discussion
personally, i will not leave the house for someone to "look at" a weapon...post pictures, give descriptions, take more pictures...i get it if you show up for a meet and the weapon is no where near as described...otherwise, be a man or woman of your word 
My only concern is the "You offer less"
To me that should have been communicated earlier.
I had that happen to me with a Mosin I was selling. The other party looked at it. It was as described and then he started trying to haggle.
I wouldn't have showed up if I knew we were still negotiating.
JMHO

When yall shook hands just before leaving, was it a "hey nice to meet you and thanks for your time" hand shake. Or a "hey nice to meet you and I hope you die and burn in hell" type of feeling?
Either way it has no bearing of getting a neg removed. That can just give you a heads up that a not so positive feedback might be coming. Still doesnt justify one if you were clear in your pm's that you would like to inspect the item prior to any commitment.

An agreement to meet for a sale is not an agreement to purchase. The only reason to be butt hurt is if the other party doesn't bother to show up.
I met with one that had posted pics. When I got there the weapon had heavy holster wear, that did not show up in the pics. The person also agreed it had holster wear, he was delivering it for someone else. I told him that it was not what I wanted, due to wear. I offered to pay for his gas for his trouble. He made a call and the seller offered to let it go for less..I agreed and left him positive feed, He never left any for me..
If your going to meet someone to just look at or inspect something before you buy, make dang sure the other person knows what the meet is for. Otherwise I'd you don't buy, that's a negative feedback for sure.
The only thing the feedback system is for is showing up on time at the agreed meeting place. What happens at the meet is irrelevant.
