Yea, you paid what the kid was asking, the fact that he had no clue should not induce a prideful post. You screwed him plain and simple.

Again, maybe it is my mood and/or my age, but as a hobbyist, casual collector and part-time hoarder, I'm a bit embarrassed by this thread. And, not to go too overboard and since I'm likely to already be making enemies here......Shame on those who posted a "LIKE" to the OP.

Let me be VERY VERY clear...I said the guy DID NOT appreciate what he had, NOT that he didnt KNOW what he had.
As we were in the gun shop he was on GunBroker LOOKING at 19-3 and their selling prices....he SIMPLY wanted $300 for a "better" gun.
Hence why I said he didnt appreciate what he had because he was willing to essentially dump a $700+ gun for a Glock....
Its certainly not like I lied to him saying "its a bad gun" or "its not worth anything"......This young guy simply didnt want the 19-3 and wanted to get something else.
At the end of the day he got the gun he wanted...and I got a gun I wanted.....Everyone went home happy.
Im not THAT horrible of a person dang.
