What would you do? Gun Show.

We took some ammo to sell at the gun show today, as all our guns were stolen [:D][:D]. One guy bought/traded for most all of it. I went to the truck to get a bag of ammo he wanted, and a guy stopped me in the parking lot and asked what I had, I told him what I had, and that it was already sold. He asked me to show him if they were factory or not, so I did, trying to not be rude. He told me he had a rifle for that cartridge and what were they going for? I told him what we had sold them for, and he handed me the cash right there and told me to piss on the other guy. I handed it back to him and told him I could not do that to someone.. I would get the money in an extra 200 steps id have to walk to get back to where dad and the guy was waiting anyways. He offered to pay more for them, but I still could not do that. I told him he could talk to dad about it, and when he saw dad, and asked if they were up for grabs, he quickly shriveled up and walked away when dad told him No.
I couldn't sell something for a few bucks more when already promised to someone else, unless under extreme circumstances (like I was not ABLE to or something)... What would you have done?

Had it happen many times, and have always done exactly what you have done. Hand shake agreements are a matgter of honor. I would never renig on one.

Your decision was the only one to make. Good job.

You did right.

A man's WORD is his BOND.............if your word isn't then you ain't a man!
I think that, in refusing to break your word for extra cash, you've exhibited an excellent grasp moral responsibility.
Hat's off to ya, Jacob.
Honor is hard to come by these days. You did well. Be more aggressive next time!
