I think im a dumb *****

[toddthedog]

I had a customer offer me an older springfield armory 1911 (probably early 2000's or late 90's) instead of paying me the 800 dollars that he owed me. It was in exellent condition and looked dark grey kinda like the new operator. Am i a dumb ***** for not taking it. I didnt want to hassle with transfer fees or trying to resale it.

800,sounds a little too expensive,,

I passed on a never fired Colt Defender .45 ACP for $500 a few years back. Still bummed I passed on it.

Better to let go of a possible "great opportunity" than to get stuck with a lemon.

If you missed something good, you still didn't LOSE anything.

With a lemon, you lost what you expected to get AND you're stuck getting it fixed/rid of it.

Without knowing the model its not really possible to tell if the trade was worthwhile for you or not.

[Dark Mod]

Nah you did fine, who knows how much its worth, even if its $800 its a net loss because of the time and expense of transferring and selling it

[RTE]

You did what you thought was the best deal.

Well???

did you at least get the $800 owed to you?

[toddthedog]

I got 700 and 400 rounds of pmc xtrac 62 grain so i was pleased

[Spyder]

Sounds like a better deal. Now go spend that seven hundred bucks on a gun you want!

Sounds like a Mil-Spec Operator to me. At $800 it sounds about right, assuming full rail parkerized Operator, correct? Those were available early 2000s and I didn't see many of them available at that time.

Unless you were in the market specifically for that particular model, your not a dumb--- IMHO. Although taking the deal would be nice for the other guy, it would be the same as an impulse buy. He should sell it, give you the cash, you buy what want, end of story.

More detail is needed before we can comment intelligently.
