You are absolutely, positively, 100% correct...I would not have talked him down from $500. Not after I discovered he had multiple strokes, heis going blind, he is a fellow hunter,and he is offering me a gunand a scopethatis waaaay below market price.

Why on earth, would I want to take another $25.00 from him?

Why isthat sohard to understand?
Oh yea, good luck on the $25.00 you saved.[:'(]
It's obvious you need it more than him!
