Ok here goes, this is not one of those did I do good threads. (well I guess it is kinda as I feel guilty)
A guy at work put up a flyer selling his Taurus PT1911 w/3 boxes of ball and a box of premium HPs along with a cheap holster for 250. I of course upon seeing this say to myself "H_LL yeah Ill buy that" and pick up my phone and call. Of course my first question is "why so cheap? what did you do to it?" And the answer is not a thing he just wants to sell it fast to get something else before Christmas.
Now I would not have purchased it if it were 350-400 as I really wasnt in the market for a 1911 or a Taurus (I'm admittedly a gun snob) But I still feel bad about it as I know it was worth a bunch more. Heck the ammo alone is nearly 80 bucks retail.
So what is the consensus... Did I take advantage of the guy or did he meet his goal of a quick sell?
BTW: I know the guy. He is in my unit and purchased the weapon new months ago, its not stolen that's not it.
