Thank you all for your encouraging words. I think I know when to take a deal like that and when to help the person out. This was one of those times that the owner was young and maybe niave and needed to learn a lesson the easy way. I guarantee you that he will forever read before he ventures out into the arena again.
Jerry, I know it was a missed op, but I have been so blessed with my acquisitions (and you KNOW what I mean) that sometimes I think it is the professor in me that brings those things my way. I believe you have referred to me (tongue in cheek) as "You Robber."
At a recent show in Glendale where I spent the entire weekend teaching and disassembling Lugers to show people what they had, I was approached by the vendor from straight across from me. He sold ARs and related. He said after watching and listening to me all weekend, I could have any AR at his cost anytime I want. Like you said, no good deed goes unpaid.
