What a moral delima. First the guy tries to beat up the dealer for more tha half the asking price. Well, maybe he should have given the dealer the asking price or a little less and taken the box and gone, but he was (IMO) greedy. The dealer might have said "No Deal", but did you jump in before he had a chance to deny him?. The other guy might have said no deal and give up and maybe tried again later. When I had a table at a train show, if someone wanted to talk me down too much, I tell them come back at the end and if I still had the item, we'll deal. So were you wrong? Yes, in the context that you jumped the gun and as Bob said, it wasn't an auction setting even though the other guy counter bid. The dealer probably would have refused to sell at $3, depending the time of day, and the guy may have walked away. We'll never know. But IMO, you are not responsible for his outburst [:(!] He could just as well walked away or kept up the bidding until you gave up and walked away. Then he could have told the dealer he changed his mind. [(-D]. What could the dealer do?[:(] And women complain men don't show their emotions. [swg]
