[QUOTE="chip, post: 967974, member: 19122"]you know yourself better and you also were there, so just like grading a coin in-hand actually living thru the experience gives you a better handle on what is or is not the right thing to do. Sitting here hundreds of miles away and not knowing all the circumstances means that my advice should be taken as well meaning but just something to consider if you have not already considered it. First, your ethics should mean more to you than wether or not others deserve to benefit from them also. If your ethics are a depends sort of ethics, it depends on wether the other person was pleasant, it depends on wether the other person was respectful, it depends on wether the other person was as knowledgeble as they think they were, then that is your ethics. Second, if you contact the person and tell them they made the mistake, and that you found an 08-s in fine condition and you would really like to make the price fair, there are a number of things that might happen. The person might dispute it with you, which would be rather funny and a real switch of the way things usually work, or they might thank you and you might find that the person made a bad first impression and they are really not so bad after all. Or worst case they can somehow think you are trying to Put One Over on them which seems ridiculous but people can sometimes be funny. Now like I said, advice is easier to take then to give, what advice would you give if someone asked you?[/QUOTE]
