If you were in the US, most likely the Sellers agent then kept the full 6% fee unless you negotiated it down on that first transaction.

In our case, the agent accepted a lower commission because both they and the seller got more money from our offer then they would have from the competing offer which had a buyer's agent. We didn't negotiate that though, because that's entirely between the seller and their agent.
