Was it ethical to scoop the dealer...?

I don't think it is unethical to enlarge your chances to buy a -perhaps great- luger.
Has any arm dealer made you a present before? I don't think so.
Quite a time ago I stood in the store of my favourite arm dealer and talked to a young man, who came to the dealer to take out his -due to german weapon law- deactivated luger.
We talked a bit in front of the gunstore-owner and we soon began to have a bit of friendship.
I had to stay in the store after he left, because I had to wait for my items.
Pretty much time later (it is always hard for me to leave a gunstore ;-) ) I went out and: he waited for me in front of the store.
We made pretty good deals since then and he offered me some good rarities for a good price.
I think, you are OK, but I would have been ashamed to trade in the store, too..
On the other hand side: you are not buying cigarettes or toilet paper, something without collection-worth. You was interested in a luger - and in my opinion every luger - even a very often seen byf41 has its own story..
So don't mind!
